Dear Netters: Please forgive me if I post to the wrong group. I just purchased a XT laptop -- a NEC Multispeed. I am considering to get some useful software packages to it. I think what I need are: 1) A wordprocessing package ( Is Wordperfect 5.1 a good offer ? with student discount $135 ) 2) A spreadsheet ( I am considering Lotus 1-2-3 Re2.2 student $99) 3) A database ( I don't know which is good ?) 4) A presentation package ( I don't know which is good either) 5) A grammer checker Because I used to work with VAX/VMS and have little experience with PC packages, I'd like to hear from netters. I believe that you are experienced PC guys espically with Laptop. Thanks very much in advance. daiyingshi@yvax.byu.edu ( Internet ) daiyingshi@byuvax ( Bitnet )
