Yeahbut your Plan B still won't get back your NW4 
documents in their former glory, and everything 
back of NW6.5 will be lost 4eva.
Unless of course, we can convince philistines 
such as yourself, Brian Ferguson, and the entire 
Nisus developer team, that the shining lights of 
the past should not be replaced by the glaring 
examples of the present.

Just ask James May ( http://tinyurl.com/3j2pcak 
), a true connoisseur who understands that his 
LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman model train 
engine ­ "with realistic chuffing sound" - has no 
equal.
Likewise, proper computers have ADB ports 
allowing an Apple Extended Keyboard II ­ "with 
realistic clacking sound" - to be connected. (And 
what's more, they can run Nisus 3 under System 6 
off a single floppy.)

I rest my case.. AD
