	At a Claris demo. on 04/11, I was introduced to MWII by a guy named
Mike, who seemed very knowledgeable.  Now, I've been around Mac since the 1st
Hundred Days, but this was quite impressive!  It has a lot of DTP features -
multi-columns, graphics insertion, color, a better spelling checker than 5.0,
thesaurus features, new rulers set-up, etc.  Look out, MS Word, FullWrite, etc.!
Yes, it's huge, but then so is everything else these days. But I admit I'm
prejudiced in that I could never adjust to Word's less Mac-like interface or
(what appeared to me to be) lack of uniformity.  And, I never wrote 50+ pages/
document (still can't type!).
	Let's just say MW has always filled my needs very well.  And I never
had problems with it having bugs & blowing up.  I'm sending off for separate
copies for the Gov't. Mac here at work, & the SE20 I have @ home, just to keep
my registrations both current.
