 I specifically bought a Mac Portable because it was the only portable which
 would run FrameMaker.  FrameMaker runs slow since it is only a 68000 based
 machine but it runs circles around FrameMaker on our Sun 3/50's which are
 68020 based machines.  I've tried running it on a Mac+ but it is just too
 slow (as is everything else on a plus) and the screen is too small.  At
 least with the Portable, I get a full page width screen.

 I use it for documenting and also for code editing.  I found that 2.2 Meg of
 memory assures me that I don't get any "out of memory" messages.

 Even though the Portable has no memory management unit, a crash is handled in
 a much nicer manner than on a Sun.  I found a common defect between the
 platforms.  On the Sun, it makes FrameMaker just disappears with all your
 unsaved work.  On the Mac, a dialog comes up which allows you to save
 everything before the application quits.

 If you're running the same version number of FM on different platforms, the
 files may be transferred between environments without any problems (unless
 you are using local fonts).

 For me, FrameMaker is the only application I would use for documenting on a
 Mac (and I've tried a few).  Version 3.0 is coming out which supports tables
 in a big way and conditional text.  It is also supposed to be faster.

Hope this helps,
Rob
