CS> TW> Getting equilivent software will be the big problem. Particulalry any
CS> TW> type of Reference Library.

CS>It's somewhat encouraging.  My QuickVerse supplier (from Parsons
CS>Technology) will sell me an upgrade to my QuickVerse Deluxe but the
CS>Mac version, at a very competitive price.  Actually the same price as
CS>I would have to pay for the Windows upgrade.

Wow, Been a while since I heard the name Parsons. Weren't they gobbled
up by borderrbund?:
I was a regualr customer of Parsone. I found most of theri programs
excellent. Ones like Newsletters & More, Screen Shot, Address Book,
Complete Legal Collection, Lables Express, and Calendar Wroks to name a
few of the ones I got from them.


CS>However, (with tongue in cheek) when the Mac platform begins using the
CS>Intel processors, that means most, if not all available software will
CS>have to be recompiled to run on the Intel CPUs.  That means there may
CS>be delays in obtaining new software.


That is going to be an interesting change. It will be interesting to see
if they go through with their Threat to make their Excellent OS only
work with Mac Hardware though.
