As a professinal writer and a former professional AW/TimeOut support
person at Beagle Bros, I can honestly say that AW and Timeout is a
great combo. In fact, I think TimeOut Thesarus is the BEST online
thesaursus I have EVER used, and even though I normally use MS Word 95
and 97 for most writing tasks these days (I need to generate these
file formats).

I hated TO Grammar too. I wouldn't bother with it.
