When I bought my first Apple I opted against AppleWorks.  I figured I
"didn't need" it, so I got BankStreet Writer.  After struggling along for
months I was at a friend's house and watched him breeze through a letter
with AppleWorks (and Pinpoint).  I went out and bought it the next day.
Since then I have put all my addresses and Compact Disks into the database,
I do all our church's financial statements in the spreadsheet and am
continually finding more ways to use it.  Without ingenuity, AppleWorks is
nothing but a word processor.

I have a 8 1/2" by 11" catalog 3/4in. thick which lists nothing by templates
for the database and spreadsheet programs in AppleWorks.  Its really
amazing what you can do with AppleWorks is you think about it.   8-)
