       I don't have a good printer, but I can use the University
       PS-laser. 1ST2PS has been enough for now.

"    2) Ability to import pictures.
       I need to draw some graphs for my work and I need to import
       them into my text. Preferably DEGAS or some other common format.

"    3) Easy to use interface. I don't like PC WordPerfect...

"    4) Plus all the normal word processor stuff (justify, selectable
       line spacing, bold & italics etc.).

"Any suggestions about a good word processor, which meets these requirements?"

    If you have a Spectre 128, a hard drive, and two megs of memory, then
FullWrite by Ashton Tate will do all of this for you and more.  This is a
POWERFUL and exceedingly friendly program to use.  It reminds me of a
word processor with DTP features but without the restrictions of DTp
programs (text processing done within a frame or box, etc.).
    You do have to have a two meg machine, though.
    Also, if you are an educator, you can get a substantial discount.
