I second this--WriteNow is excellent for everyday use, and it is very
hard to get lost in WriteNow.  There are two deals available for
WriteNow right now.  One offer includes a free copy of Gramatica, the
other offer is called the Mac Software Pack, which includes SuperPaint,
a spreadsheet, and a database program.  Check with your dealer or with
one of the mail order places.
