I don't ask for much...
For the past ten years I've been tooling along with
my XT with no problems.
I was happy.
I had a good word processor that did everything I wanted.
Then the machine crashed and I picked up this IIGS.
Now misery is my friend.
Everything I've worked for over the past ten years will turn
to ruin if I don't get a good clone type word processor fast.
The AWGSII WP module is a joke; a toy I wouldn't give to a
7th grader to do a term paper on.
Compared to Word Perfect, or Q&A write, or even Hermes, it
is impossible to work with.
Nothing works as it should. I waited three minutes for a 110
page screenplay to appear on the screen after I opened it. I've
to figure how to set tabs. The quality of the text on screen for
every font is so fuzzy I don't know what I'm writing half the time.
Even the Hermes text had better resolution. And how do you delete,
say, 100 pages of a 200 page document other then doing it page
by page which takes about three days?
This is not a serious word processor. This is a disgrace to
the Apple name. These Claris guys should be ashamed.
And meanwhile I have a film producer in California waiting for
my script.
Please respond to this post fast. If I'm very lucky and
get it hitting on all four cylinders, and the well don't
dry, and the dog don't swallow granny's snuff, maybe said
producer will like my script and I can suggest you as the
male lead opposite Pamela Anderson.
Thank you, over and out...
