I am really getting tired of everybody and his uncle bitching about how useless  
WordPerfect is.  Sure, it has its flaws, it's not a slick NeXT application, but  
it does it's job. There are a few slick NeXt applications out there that DON'T  
do their job. I bought my copy of WordPerfect for the NeXT two years ago, and  
I've loved it ever since.  It launches fast, it handles graphics way better  
than Write Now, it's got all the nice features of WP for the PC (except  
equations), and when you're done typing your stuff, you give the floppy to the  
secretary and she does the revisions for you on her PC.  What other application  
allows you to do that?  On top of that, you pay for one copy and you're  
licensed to use it on several machines.  I sure got my money's worth when I  
bought WP, and I'm going to buy the next version when it comes out!

Come on, somebody out there besides me must like WordPerfect?
