AppleWorks 6--More
"I have been working with Appleworks 6 for the past week. First off, I would like to say that I'm a big fan of Appleworks. I have decided to stick with version 5, though, until an update is released that will fix a number of bugs that I have found with it. First of all, I noticed documents being lost--such as yourself--when changing margins and letter size. I also noticed that when I first installed it, it would not run until I had the Action Utilities Go Mac turned off. With it turned on, I would get an error saying that I needed to restart my computer for the use of my QuickTime extensions. As far as speed, I don't see a huge difference on my B&W rev1. I do, though, notice that in the startup screen where you are able to choose different assistants, the icons continue to update themselves causing them to flicker constantly. It is really annoying. I don't know if you saw any of these bugs, but I thought I would just add to your initial findings. Keep up the great work and great site."
I hope Apple will post an AW6 bug fix very soon. I'll continue to use it on my G3/G4 computers until I have a major glitch. However, AW6 is much too slow on my PowerBook 2400c so I'll continue to use AW5.0.4 which works very well.
