One of them told me quite honestly that she didn t really write the book from personal experience with 6 but from what MS said that 6 would do and her long-standing expertise with 5.x. The other two refused comment, and I did not specifically quote the one who risked it. Now comes the promise of Office 98, and I am anxious to return to MS for word processing. I have never found Word Perfect to be very stable. Even after five years use, I can still unexpectedly have a document turn onto a bowl of word hash and not be able to do anything to get back to where I was before the tragedy.
Word is more powerful.
I will have to buy just to get Word and Excel. I can see it coming now Bill Gates will claim that Office is fully integrated so that I cannot remove any of the components without disabling the entire suite. On my Wintel machine I upgraded to Office 97 for about half of that price. A final note. Eudora, Fetch, and Netscape Navigator are still stalwarts of my Internet activities, but for how long.
