not for me, but for one of the bosses, but I have it to play with for a day
or so..)

I got one too. Finally, after listening to this list for all these
months.  Two things seem to work differently (so far).  First, when you try
to use Disk Copy, you are told that that only works on the 128K Mac.  This
is just as well, since you can copy with only one or two swaps.  Second,
the "Guided Tour" sections on MacWrite lose synchronization between the
tape and the screen at the beginning.  Once you resynchronize, it works fine.
I haven't written any 80 page papers since Saturday, so I can't report
how MacWrite handles big files.
