A friend of mine is buying a Mac Plus soon, and he wants me to help him
plot what software he should buy (he knows nothing about computers, I'm the
CS major).
His needs are: 1. a word processor
2. a paint program
The word processor is the most important aspect to him. Programs Plus sells
MacWrite for $99, and there wasn't anything cheaper I could recognize. Does
anyone out there know/have experience with anything other than MacWrite that's
less expensive? He also wants a spelling checker, so any help on which one
is good would be hepful too.
On the paint program, FullPaint lists in the catalog for less than MacPaint.
Is this a good deal? (I know the FullPaint ads say "We succeed MacPaint" but
what is the reality?)
And what games did you first buy as a new Mac owner?
ONE MORE QUESTION! Are there any programs that can let the MAc display the
Greek alphabet?
I know, lots of questions, lots of questions.
Thanks in advance,
Roger Espinosa
