Burned in what way?  Well, like promises upon promises of updates and  
continuing support, which didn't last all that long.

Perhaps *burned* was too strong a word.  It [Amiga WP] did the job quite  
well for me in college, although it certainly was never up to par with its  
DOS counterpart.  I'm just reluctant to plunk down more cash for a program  
that doesn't work as well as it should from a company who's commitment to  
products seems at time flakey.

Why there still isn't a topflight wp solution for the NeXT confuses the  
hell out of me.  (More like annoys me.)  I actually thinking of buying a  
powerbook to fill some of the void.
