There is one place that, despite the wider range of choices available
in the PC world, I can get a better, cheaper product for the MAC: word
processing.  The PC has at least two very good higher-end word processors:
Word and Word Perfect, both of which sell for about $225 from most mail
order sources. However,  there is no really good package in the $100 range on 
the PC. There is on the MAC: WriteNow.  WriteNow is very easy to use yet very
powerful. It can handle letters, reports and so forth with no trouble.
(The only reason to use Word (which is harder to use and more expensive) is 
when you need its style-sheet capabilities.)
