Macs are good at including graphics in documents, and let you control
fonts.

Framework (for IBM PC compatibles) lets you include text, graphs,
spreadsheets, and databases in a document.  Advantages: your input file
includes the actual graph and data, not just a copy of the screen, so
the document is easy to update when the data changes.  Disadvantages:
you're stuck with the kinds of graphs the Framework can produce:  Bar
and stacked bar charts, line and point graphs, and pie charts.

Another feature unique to Framework is its ability to display a rough
version of a graph on a non-graphics monitor.
