Both require a lot of disk space. I would certainly prefer to use WP without
a mouse than I would Word. One thing you might not know, is that WP corp
sells a program called Wordperfect Executive which contains a toned down
version of Wordperfect, some fancy stuff was left out, which is designed
to fit on a single 3.5 floppy and use in a portable computer. In addition
it has a mini database and spreadsheet included. I would suggest you
check this out for use on your Toshiba.
