Well…. if you had asked _me_, I would not have reccomended either WP or maxiplan for a 512k user. For that matter, I wouldn't have reccomended maxipaln at all, and wordperfect only under duress, after convincing argument that you couldn't live without the special features; It's not a very good amiga program, in my opinion. Yet, anyway. Listen, no matter WHAT size machine you have, you can always pick a couple of things it's going to be difficult to multitask with. There are programs out there that look at how much memory you have, and promptly allocate it all, or most of it. If you had a 1 meg system, some programs would barely fit – also a two meg system; You _can_ do all of that in a 512k system – just depends where you set your sights. –Ben–
