For all those waiting for Word 6, there was a truly scary story in MacWEEK (5/6), which indicates that when fully installed, the app. and all rest of the files, junk, and gee-whiz features will require 19.4 MEGAbytes of disk space, (the app. only is 3.5 Megs), and that it will need a 3 Mbytes of RAM, and 5 Mbytes is recommended. Are they insane? Why do I need another disk and memory hog application with fourteen dozen features I'll rarely use? (OK, show of hands, how many of you _regularly_ use picture, graph and the equation editor?). I guess it's time to start looking at other word processors. Sigh... Mark
