i must admit that its pretty annoying to use word perfect on floppies,
even my harddisk takes some time...
but THEN i made a instal file (sort of exec) for using it on a /ram drive 
- it became N times faster !
i barely could read that 'please wait' message ! 
so...try this one out for you !
(aeh...i have transwarp, so i might test around a bit with the clock speed :-)

when i bought my 640k floppy drives i was amazed, but now i dont have any
floppies connected - the hard disk does it all {takes about a second to run
elite from it :-}

i also would like to see a all-new appleworks too - with all those memory
boards they could make it an all-new flash! software ! { is claris on the
net listening ?!?!}{
w3 <- this is line noise...
have phun !
