I will vehemently disagree with both the previous posts.  The ST
has lots of software that matches or outdoes Mac and IBM software.
Calamus and LDW Power take care of the desktop publishing and 
database aspect (need I mention Superbase and DynaCadd ?)  There
is *plenty* of excellent ST software out there, its just that it
may not be as well known as the 'name' software in other computer
worlds.  I use both emulation packages - but after suffering with
the Mac Plus at work and watching what my MS-DOS friends have to
go through coming home to the ST is like a vacation and I only use
the emulators to remind myself of the alternatives!  <grin>
