     God I hate my self for saying this but, Mark Barret is right about the
applications in the Amiga world.  Have any of you who are flaming MB tried
Word or 123?  Word for the MAC is one of the best, if not the best,
wordprocessors around.  I have tried both Excellence and ProWrite (Yes, the
latest versions) and still they don't compare to Word.  How do I try all of
these new programs?  I told several friends that there were no Amiga
wordprocessors that compare to Word, and it has become their single goal in
life to prove me wrong.  I hope that they do, but for now the Word is still
the best.  As for Spreadsheets, 123 is the best.  Why because it is the
standard (please no flames :) ).  Go into any major company and see which
spredsheet they use, 9 times out of 10 it will be 123. You can complain all you
want about their lawsuits, but their support of their product is incredible,
and I for one am praying that they soon port 123 to the Amiga.  So if you
want to flame Mark Barret, please try the programs you are taling about.
