I have been forced by requirements of the company I contract for to use
Word 6.0.1 on the Mac. It is abominable. To replace 36 items, it took
approximately 5 minutes! This is unacceptable. A save of a file took
several minutes (!), a significant percent of which was spent not doing
disk access (what the hell WAS it doing?). The 'net is ripe with longer
and hotter flames than mine, but I had to get it off my chest...

In order to keep my sanity, the options open to me are:
1) Quit the contract (not a reputation one should strive for...)
2) Get a faster computer

I have a Quadra 800 which I would reluctantly upgrade to a Power Mac 8500
only if I would realize a significant speed increase.

Can anyone give me some of their experience regarding a comparison between
the 68K and power PC versions of the product?

Thanks for your help.

Direct email copies of replies are always appreciated.

Enjoy,
Dave
