I don't have a good printer, but I can use the University PS-laser. 1ST2PS has been enough for now. " 2) Ability to import pictures. I need to draw some graphs for my work and I need to import them into my text. Preferably DEGAS or some other common format. " 3) Easy to use interface. I don't like PC WordPerfect... " 4) Plus all the normal word processor stuff (justify, selectable line spacing, bold & italics etc.). "Any suggestions about a good word processor, which meets these requirements?" If you have a Spectre 128, a hard drive, and two megs of memory, then FullWrite by Ashton Tate will do all of this for you and more. This is a POWERFUL and exceedingly friendly program to use. It reminds me of a word processor with DTP features but without the restrictions of DTp programs (text processing done within a frame or box, etc.). You do have to have a two meg machine, though. Also, if you are an educator, you can get a substantial discount. Larry Rymal
