	Not as far as I'm concerned.  We may have a few neat parlor tricks,
but the Mac is already entrenched.  The Mac was a paper-generator since Day
One.  As such, the desktop publishing technology and software is more mature
on the Mac.

	Realize, of course, that this is merely my perception; I don't have
hard evidence to back this up.  However, I don't think I have yet seen a
document processor that puts MacWrite to shame (although Brown-Wagh's PenPal
looks darned impressive).
