Well, on my Plus(es) I used MS Works 2.0a for most productivity stuff. (read: calling BBSes using the Comms component, cause doing so on the Plus was just so cool...). Anyway, you get WP, SpreadSheet, Comms and a flat-file Database. Basic, useful, rather slick, and it all fits on an 800K diskette with room for your files. Looking back on apps like that, I often wonder is 90% or so of modern program code is just random garbage, designed as filler to help 'encourage' you to purchase this year's new computer. -Adam. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
