I am currently writing a short story. I originally started writing it using my PowerBook 1400 and Microsoft Word 2001, but once I got my Mac Plus up and running I wondered if it was actually possible to do some real world work on a near 20 year old system. I ended up using System 6.0.8 on one floppy using the internal drive, and Nisus Writer Compact on another floppy using the external drive. I have since found that I am actually more productive using the Plus! I have found there is less to distract me whilst working and I basically get on with the job at hand rather than messing around on the Internet :) Since starting to use it for a purpose I have given the Plus and the external hard disk it came with a good clean up which was discussed in another post to this list... I am now ready to install an OS to the hard disk! As mentioned above, I had been using 6.0.8 on floppy, but now I have a little more room to play with I was wondering if I would be better off installing a slightly newer OS like 7.5.5? I am not too bothered about the speed issues as once a word processor has loaded up I won't be doing anything else. I was thinking of buying the full version of Nisus Writer 6.0.1 as this should run fine, unless anyone here has any better recommendations... So what do people here recommend for a Plus with 4Mb and an 80Mb hard disk - 6.0.8 or 7.5.5? And what Word Processor should I use - Nisus Writer 6.0.1 or something different?
