My own use of the Mac has been largely for that purpose, and I have found that many desk accessories and applications do not interface with CRICKET DRAW--including the desk accessory Mac Eqn. Cricket Draw does strange things with stuff that comes from the clipboard, for example, it does not paste most of the standard graphics included with the default scrapbook. It does not paste items from Mac3D. It copies, but mangles text from MS Word 3. Hopefully their next release will correct these problems. I highly recommend that you verify that whatever drawing, equation- making and word processing programs you decide to purchase are compatible before spending the $$.
