I have used the original AMax for quite a while now using mostly Microsoft Word 4.0 and WingZ. Yes, there is a VERY noticable increase in speed. Tetris is unplayable for example (only used to show example of increase, not as a recommendation) And I have put a Mac Plus next to it and thru Word 4.0 did a spellcheck on a 50k document in each. There was a large difference in times. I must say, I like what it has done so far and the new version seems even better! Sean Kellner
