I agree that I wouldn't want to use ProWrite for desktop publishing, but
it can certainly handle most writing tasks normal folks need. But just
because that particular program is not perfect is no reason to suggest that
people should run out and buy a Mac. That is just plain ignorant. If you
want great WYSIWYG, use Profesionnal Page, Professional Draw, and Transcript
for your writing. ProPage and ProDraw both use non-bitmap fonts that render
beautifully to PostScript and other high-end printing devices. My wall is
covered with great stuff that I did strictly on Amiga software that looks
indistinguishable from the best Mac stuff.
   Some very nice magazines are produced with the above combo, including
A.X. Magazine and AMigo-Times. Don't put down an entire computer because
of deficiencies, real or imagined, in one of its products.
