Not to enter too deeply into this religious debate here, but... :-) Just a bit of a product plug -- I've actually found that Microsoft's Word for Windows is an excellent product that makes word processing as easy (if not easier) than using, say, Microsoft Word for Mac. I also like the Windows interface more than Macintosh, but that's only because I don't have the bucks to latch on to a color Mac. Anyway, summary: I take no position on the Mac/IBM "nyah nyah nyah, my computer is better than yours" debate. I do, however, posit that Word for Windows is an excellent product and is as easy and nice to use as another popular Microsoft product, Word for Mac. This does not, of course, override or mitigate the other factors in the debate currently underway... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Vick | "Stands to reason?
