I am about to purchase "The Works Platinum" from someone sight unseen for   
$100 Canadian ($85 US) and want to know if this is a good deal.  Could
someone give me a bit of a review of the product?  How is the word processor
that comes with it?  I hear it is just Scribble.  I now have Excellence but
am not happy with it.  Is the WP in "The Works" better than the regular
old Scribble that used to be sold?  Is it WYSIWYG?  Is it better than
Excellence?  How are the database and spreadsheet?  Are they "Amigaized"?

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
