Happy Holidays everyone ...

A few software comparison questions ...

	Now that Boomerang 2.0 is out as a Shareware product and Shortcut from
Ray Lau is available, has anyone tried both enough to venture an opinion ?
Whatever happened to Findswell ? This program; once an institution on almost
everyone's Hard disk is now well on its way to obsolesence. Has anyone heard
from Working Software re: plans for a major overhaul ?

	Many of us have been very happily using Quickdex for quite some time.
I remember being told at Macworld last January that "a MAJOR upgrade ...
Quickdex Plus would be out "real soon". Well, 11 months have gone by (still 
somewhat short by MAC Vaporware standards) and 2 new products have come out.
How do Address Book Plus and Dynodex compare with Quickdex ? Anyone heard
from Casady & Greene whither Quickdex Plus ?

	I've been quite happy with WriteNow 2.0, but Word4 does have that  
great Tables feature and the pressure continues to mount for using Word. Has
anyone found one particular book that makes learning Word4 fairly sensible and
almost enjoyable even ? Is that too blasphemous to even contemplate ?

	Please Email and I'll summarize for the net ...

Happy New Year ;

- Al
