for SOME people to use. I'm not one ot them; I'm not smart enough
to figure out GUIs.
I have used many word processors, Word Perfect, Wordstar, AMI...
Word...; none compare to the simplicity and power of Apple Writer
2.0. If I need to do something cute, difficult or whatever, I
write a WPL to do all the work for me. Is it possible to use
Postscript without Apple Writer?! Yet, is there a simpler, easier
program to use. With Don Thompson's, Don Lancaster's and Chester
Page's enhancements, the program is still only 39 blocks long!
Give me simplicity and power any day. Would but Apple Inc. release
the program to the public domain; they won't sell it, so let
everyone have it!!

]Maybe you think 8 MHz is too slow (Apple doesn't -- check the
]Mac Classic); then note that 17 and 25 MHz models are waiting on a
]PITTANCE of cash. [ASIC.] "

Why does Apple...

]Xerox interface is NOT univerally viable nor universally intuitive?"

Imagine the power of a 10megs (or better) 65816 (or better)
on a bus of equal speed with VGA (or better) Apple II unencumbered
by a Mac interface!!!! Put the video on a card, thus making it an
option, and it would be cheap and would be almost as
good as having a SUN work station at home.
OH WELL, I CAN DREAM. Larry
To become?
