After using Byte Works' excellent Quick Click Calc and after using
AppleWorks 5.1, AppleWorks GS 1.1, GraphicWriter III 2.0, ShadowWrite
1.3.3 (aka Hermes 1.3.4), Word Works Pro, EgoEd and many other editors
and word processors, I too would like to be able to buy a really good
Apple IIgs word processor.

Unfortunately, the last time I heard Mike Westerfield of The Byte Works
discuss the subject, he felt there was no way he'd make any money on a
"Quick Click Word" (my name, not his) and wasn't going to undertake it.
Based on sales of Quick Click Calc and Quick Click Morph he's convinced
the market for Apple IIgs commercial software is just too small.

Anybody want to join in a write-in effort to convince Mike there's
enough of a market left to make a "Quick Click Word" worthwhile?

Meantime I'll keep using Hermes, AppleWorks and GraphicWriter...
