Absolutely! I'm amazed that I can have what I consider a "serious" OS
(this from a guy who -- blush -- cut his teeth on VM/CMS!) for this
price! And, it really very good. I'm looking forward to the
introduction of Corel Office for Java, StarOffice, and wider
capabilities in Applixware (maybe 4.3 or 5.0?) to really give us the
opportunity to do everything we need to do in this environment.
