   Use the Mac for the most excellent Word Processing Capabilities.

     Not to enter too deeply into this religious debate here, but...
:-) Just a bit of a product plug -- I've actually found that
Microsoft's Word for Windows is an excellent product that makes word
processing as easy (if not easier) than using, say, Microsoft Word for
Mac. I also like the Windows interface more than Macintosh, but that's
only because I don't have the bucks to latch on to a color Mac.
     Anyway, summary: I take no position on the Mac/IBM "nyah nyah
nyah, my computer is better than yours" debate. I do, however, posit
that Word for Windows is an excellent product and is as easy and nice
to use as another popular Microsoft product, Word for Mac. This does
not, of course, override or mitigate the other factors in the debate
currently underway...
