These types of programs (especially AW) have a long history 
starting I believe with /// Easy Pieces.  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!!
