I use FullWrite with a Mac Plus and 4Meg (although it only gets 2Meg under
Multifinder, which is the only way I use it). It is slow. It is a memory
hog. It is also the best word processor I have ever seen on any machine,
despite these (important) deficiencies. I will not use anything else for
my writing (mostly physics papers). I recommend it highly, but you'd better
test it yourself to see how important the speed is for you.
