I'm setting up a computer literacy course for non-CS University students.  The
lab part of the course will give students experience with the most important
application types on Macintosh computers.  I'm trying to decide exactly what
software to use for the lab.  A year ago, the decision would have been easy:
MacWrite, MacPaint, Multiplan, MacTerminal, ThinkTank, and a
data base.  Now there are so many choices that it's hard to make the final
decision.  I'm weighing price against quality against ease of learning against
projected lifespan, and I'm having trouble picking a clear winner.  The final
decision may come down to Microsoft (powerful) vs Lotus (affordable).  I'd
appreciate your advice and comments if you've got relevant experience or
ideas.

Thanks,

George Beekman
