- It is kinda slow isn't it. I'm using an '030/25 and its still slow. At
- least Final Calc has a built in spooler of sorts so that you can get back to
- work on a spreadsheet fairly quickly. If you don't see this spooler come up
- when you print there may be some setting to enable it. Mine just appeared
- the first time I tried to print. I'm still having some trouble getting
- printouts to looke the way I want, but I haven't worked at it a lot yet.
- (As for Final Writer, its a great word processor but its weak point is
- printing. It is slow and I still haven't found a printer driver for a
- BJC-600 which gets along with it properly).
