There are great, fast, powerful programs out there for the ST. The problem is that there is also a lot of crap, and product support is frequently ripped out from under you. If you pick carefully, you will not have to put up with slow software. The purchase of a software accelerator can greatly increase the usability of most applications. I know what it is like to get burned, but since I started subscribing to Current Notes and reading comp.sys.atari.st, I have not purchased a lemon.
