Text: AppleWorks GS 1.1 with Pointless (very sharp print out on ink-jet
      printers).  AWGS may sometimes be a bit clunky, but it is only
      $19 in US currency from Alltech and the output is great.
Spread: QC Calc.  Maybe VIP Professional or SuperCalc 3a if you can find
      a copy used.  QC Calc is graphical while VIP Professional is an
      old Lotus 1-2-3 clone.  SuperCalc is the Apple version of the old
      PC spreadsheet.  AWGS also has a spreadsheet, but it is not as
      powerful as the others.
Communications: Spectrum, ANSIterm, or ProTERM.
Games: Wolf 3D, Lemmings GS, a thousand variations of Tetris, and
       hundreds of other titles with cool sound effects and music.
Drawing: AWGS is pretty good.  BeagleDraw is more powerful.
