	Tell me this Joe, why does MS Word take 7 minutes to repaginate a
91k document on a MAC Plus, and another 3 to save the document. I hate to
think what will happen when my thesis is 300 pages, let alone 61 measly
pages. I am not sure about other users out there, but for me, the MAC II
can not arrive soon enough.  Hopefully that machine will reduce disk I/O
by 80%.
