	What if you don't *like* WordPerfetc?  What else can you get for the
Amiga?  Excellence?  Ok, what else?  Scribble?...

	Now, what can you get for the IBM?  WordPerfetc.  But you don't like
that, so what else is there?  Microsoft Word, WordStar, Write, Perfect Word
(Perfect Write?), ... and probably a zillion others I can't remember.

	The point is that there's a much broader spectrum of stuff to choose
from on the PeeCee than there is on the Amiga.  And while WordPerfetc is
good, you can't please all the people, and those who aren't pleased will
want alternatives.  The Amiga doesn't have as many.

	Yet.
