I just received my upgrade to Quattro Pro 3.0. Although it is very
nice I think that if you don't want or need the WYSIWYG feature,
or the other presentation features, that it isn't worth upgrading
from QP 2.0. The WYSIWYG mode is much slower than the standard
display mode on my 20Mhz 386 (on a standard VGA display) and it is
harder to read. I probably won't use it 98% of the time. The other new
features are nice but in my opinion Borland should not have come out
with QP 3.0 so soon. Instead, they should have added more features so
that people not interested in WYSIWYG would be happier.

I've toyed with the idea of sending it back under the 60day guarantee
but it isn't worth the trouble since the upgrade only costs $49.95.

I don't want this to sound like there's anything wrong with QP 3.0.
There isn't and I'd still recommend it to anybody. It's just important
for people who are thinking about upgrading to make sure they know
what they're getting.
