My kids and I use AWGS a lot (especially WP, SS, PL and DB) (and we
coincidentally don't preload any modules) and find it to be quite stable.
It has (but very rarely) gotten some corrupted character in a WP file that
can cause crashes; careful cutting and pasting gets around that.  Also, we
occasionally get a scrunched (but still readable) first line on printouts
on an IWII.

Of course, I do have a few wishes for improvements.  It looks like
ByteWorks new spreadsheet has made some nice improvements over the AWGS SS
module; has anyone tried it yet?
