FLAME ON

No one says you have to buy a 3.5" drive!  But why should people that have
3.5" drives be limited by people that don't have them?

Have you considered BORROWING a 3.5" drive in order to copy the larger
dictionary file to your hard disk?  (probably not, it's easier to complain)

And how come I can't run AppleWorks 2.0 or higher on my 64k Apple IIe?  After
all, I could run 1.0 - 1.3 on it.

Also, how come those 128k IIe/IIc owners have to lose about 16k of desktop? 
After all, they don't get to use most of the extra features as most of the
newer features (expanded clipboard, spreadsheet) *REQUIRES* extra RAM!

FLAME OFF

Come on folks, let's be reasonable.  You can't always get something for
nothing.  Besides no one is FORCING you to purchase the update (you were going
to pay for it weren't you?)
