I love AW 5 (for the Apple ][) CW4 (can't talk about CW5) and AW6. Each have had their strengths. I am not a word processing maniac, I am not a spreadsheet maniac, I am not a database maniac - so why do I need all the bloated bells and whistles when a nicely thought out package can do more than 90% of what I need. As an example (not that it is a good one) our business uses a MS Access solution. Fortunately I had a bit of influence at the very beginning. Everyone in my organization uses it except me. I use AW6 database - a bit cumbersome at times but I save sooo much time in not having to retype addresses etc. etc. for reports because of the integration. Like you keep saying it just works! AW is a good thing!! _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/pages/members.html#Joinmuglo Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
