Sure doesn't hurt, however, you don't "need" one.

I'm a big fan of GW3, however, I almost always do my writing using
AppleWorks Classic and then import it into GW3. The advantage of GW3
is that the output looks better, more fonts, etc. I wouldn't
characterise it as one of my favorite editors - however - it is my
favorite lay out program.

I would strongly advise you to:

1. Use AppleWorks 5.1 for your writing.
2. GW3 with pointless and either a laser or ink-jet printer for
   output.

Yes.

Ego Systems, Quality, All Tech, Sun Remarketing (See the FAQ? for the
addresses/phone.

Yes, unless you bought it from Sun Remarketing.

you'd kill to not lose it. (I'd stick to 8Mhz or so rather than trying
for the ultimate in speed. Nathan has a FAQ on this. Give his site a
look: http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/index.html)

Too late to ask ;-)
