Coby, I never had a 286, so I was exaggerating a bit. However, Word on my old 386 was, for my purposes and the purposes of most businesses, nearly exactly the same thing it is on the newer boxes. It had spell check and a thesaurus and all the crapola. Yes, there are more templates and fonts on the new boxes, but those are useless unless you want a cookie cutter publication that gets laughed at in corporate boardrooms. I don't have Word Perfect, and, according to their latest sales, neither do many other folks. <G> All that fancy stuff is cute at home, but has nothing to do with business, IMHO, unless you are a publishing outfit. The trick is, it takes the typist just as long to type either way.
