All right, let's be fair. On March 16 Word 3.0 is a product that has
been shipped to a number of people, and FullWrite is a series of ads
in various Mac magazines.  Like many other people, I prefer word
processors made out of software rather than pieces of glossy paper.
The former lets me produce text, the latter is fireplace fodder.

The ads can say whatever they want, the electrons moving the speaker
in your telephone can make whatever sounds they want.  Why do you
think the acronym "RSN" is so commonly understood?
