I saw AppleWorks 4.0 on Wednesday night for the first time. I have been
using AW3.0 with Total Control, DoubleData2.0, Ultra 4, etc, for as long
as they've been available, but what I saw on Wednesday blew me away.
Macintosh? Windows? who needs 'em?? What I'm doing _now_ with AppleWorks
is as productive as anyone here, and from what I saw the other night,
AW4.0 is will leave most other "Integrated" software far behind in terms
of speed and productivity.
