[G4] Appleworks/MS Pros/Cons

[rich northouse]

Anne,

We have gone through all this.  Get an education copy of Office 2004 
for $135. Then if you do the Microsoft rebate thing, you will get it 
free.  Free is a good price.

Besides I have used both AW and Excel, Excel is much stronger. Just do 
it!

Happy Easter.
