Is Home Office different from just plain Gold Disk Office? I bought Gold Disk Office a couple of months ago. It bundles: Office Write (text editor) Office Page (wysiwyg page layout) Office Calc (basic spreadsheet) Office File (basic database) Office Graph (basic chart program) I don't know if the trendy buzzword "Hot Link" applies, but the programs *do* work together very well. Hard disk installation was handled by clicking on an Installation Program icon. Nothing snazzy about this package, but the price is right. Furthermore, I can't really gripe about anything. It promises basic functionality and it delivers. It should really come in a white box with stenciled lettering that says,"Amiga Office Software." I've worked mainly with Office Page and it is pretty good for doing pamphlets and newsletters -- which is what I do, usually. If Home Office is a different package with less to offer, I'd question its value, but Gold Disk Office is pretty decent.
