And I would agree.  But don't call an integrated app garbage just 
because you with your superior take on all things (which by the 
way I value on the list - just look at the flurry of emails!) 
deem it to be of no value - to you perhaps.  For the average user 
an all in one program is a much better approach than super sized 
super duper Enstein, Plack, Pasteur, Boyle, Freud, Jung (which 
science have I left out?) programs which can take forever to 
learn & longer to learn to use well.  Sometimes the sum of not so 
great pieces ends up with a much better whole.


The problem I see with AW (oh and by the way I don't think there 
was ever a version 1 of Clarisworks or 2 for that matter) is that 
most people rarely if ever look at the other modules to see how 
they can use them effectively.  With the built in macro features 
(one reason I haven't switched to OS X AW6 macros don't work in 
that environment - Applescript is overkill to do what I need) you 
can really make AW6 hum!!  And speaking of Applescript - there 
are a number of really neat Applescripts that can significantly 
extend the range of AW in terms of automating etc.

N'uff - no more comments on this topic fropm me
