In article <2ekdun$ose@hk.super.net>, colinlai@hk.super.net (Mr Colin Lai) wrote: Especially if you've seen the slowness of 5.1, you'd love 4.0. Moreover, if you're a PowerBook user, you should use 4.0 instead of 5.1 because 4.0 can be put in RAM fully, but when you use 5.1, it access the hard disk all the time (that's partly the reason why it's so slow). > If I had MY druthers, I'd still be using WriteNow 3.0, which is the fastest and smallest Mac word processor alive. It has nifty style sheets, but the print merge is very awkward, it can't sort lines, and it has no drag-and-drop editing, which I think is the very best feature of 5.1. I'm willing to try WP 3.0 when the upgrades are available, but it's two previous versions were DOGS and I'm not expecting this one to be much better. -- Wm.
