This is such an *unbiased* group to be talking about such things.
But I've never been scared of controversy...

I've had Win3 since it came out, and WinWord since it came out, and
Excel 3 since it came out (oh, when will you be able to run Excel 3
on the Mac, anyway?) and have used it quite a bit. Did some work that
really pleased my boss.

You wouldn't know that from what's happening in my company. Between
WinWord, Excel, Powerpoint, ATM, Project, and Designer, we have enough
Windows apps to meet almost all of our needs.

By the way, those are all Win3 apps, though there are versions for the Mac,
I'm referring to the Windows versions
