I would just like to state that I am unimpressed with Lotus 123R3.1...  It is
supposed to run under windows, but it doesn't really.  I find the Bitstream
WYSIWYG slow and at times annoying to use.  I was hoping for something really
great when I bought it, but I was sure let down.  It advertised that it *works*
with Windows 3.0, and indeed it does...  but not really, It runs only as a dos
application.  I feel I wasted the $400... I think I will go get Excel tomorrow.
Engineers cannot do without their *Fast* spreadsheets, and Lotus just doesn't
cut it...

I had to get that out of my system...

Have a nice day.
