I've been working with MS Word 4.0 both on a Mac Plus and on an FX and measured subjectively (haven't timed them) the FX seems to be faster, but not even close as fast one might have thought. True FX scrolls 19" 256 color display faster than a plus its own 9 incher, but operations like find and preview take allmost as long as wit the plus. Maybe this is due to MS Words design maybe due to FXs design who knows btu the speed increase is somethig like an order of magnitude smaller than what one is like to believe. -- Tero Nieminen Tampere University of Technology n67786@cc.tut.fi Tampere, Finland, Europe -- Tero Nieminen Tampere University of Technology n67786@cc.tut.fi Tampere, Finland, Europe
