I am helping a new Macintosh user sort out much of the new user stuff.
She is progressing quite quickly for having only used the Mac for a 
number of months. Due to a scar from a previous computer-user life (DOS), 
she has preconceived desires to use WordPerfect. She has been 
toying around with several word processors and she thinks she is ready 
to purchase one (WP). After going to several bookstores we have discovered
the number of available supplemental books for WordPerfect for Mac are
few and far-between - e.g. a trip to a well-stocked bookstore (near a
University full of Macintoshes) revealed a ratio of WordPerfect for
Windows books to WP for Mac books of 65:1. (!!!) No shit; I couldn't 
believe it either. So... is this a dead product? << WordPerfect employees
are disqualified and may not answer>> The inside back cover of MacWorld
shows WP for Mac to consistently place in the top 15 business packages.

Not that it matters... but this recent Mac convert is my Mom.

  The SF Board of Education just can't bring itself to use a horrid word 
  like "intercourse". ...[from their] instructions to students, 
    "the effectiveness of condoms is enhanced by use of a new 
     condom with each episode of 'penile insertive behavior'."

  A Chron reader, writes in, 
    "You can tell a man wrote that. I much prefer 'penile receptive
     behavior' - it sounds much more user-friendly."
