First off, I saw Modern Jazz (then Galaxy) at MacWorld about a year ago and
was very impressed.  I think Lotus will be able to 1-2-3 on the Macintosh and
probably do it well, probably better than Microsoft did with Excel.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Macintosh version of 1-2-3.  I don't
know if I'll buy it (probably not) but it will knock down one of the last
walls to Macintosh acceptance in the business world.  Hell, if it runs
WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3, what more does it need to run?  :^)  :^)  :^)
