The change was huge from 2.1 to 3.0.  I've been using AppleWorks since
we bought v1.0.  1.0 to 2.0 was pretty big, but imho the 3.0 step was
the biggest jump.  3.0 was rock stable and very fast, a sheer joy to
use.  Amazing that it still ran on a 128k box :)

It was about 5 years before the 3.0 to 4.0 upgrade was done...'88 to
'94 or so, right?  Shows how long 3.0 satisfied customers :)  4.00 was
a lot more buggy (hence the quick v4.01, v4.02, and v4.3), which is
understandable since it was quite a rewrite.  5.1 is awesome.  It'd
easily meet all your needs for a small business.

Just want to take a sec to say thnx to the authors.  Y'all made an
awesome program that's fun to use which even PPC and Pentium owners
envy and pine to use.  Great job!
