PC Magazine stated in March 1983 that "WordPerfect is very impressive, a more than full-featured program with a few truly state-of-the-art goodies tucked into the package". It cited WordPerfect's inclusion of mail merge, footnotes, and macros—all missing from WordStar—as well as "virtually every ... feature that one ought to expect from a higher-priced program" including find-and-replace, bold and underline display, and automatic paragraph reflow.[52] BYTE in December 1984 noted the application's built-in print buffer, ability to show bold, underline, and centered text, and extensive math capabilities. It criticized the quality of the spell checker and difficult tab settings, but concluded that "its powerful capabilities far outweigh the problems mentioned".[53] Compute! called WordPerfect "excellent". It especially praised the clean, uncluttered screen and fast spell checker.

I also have referral links for free web hosting, but they are slightly better than the free web hosting that The Big Train is offering. PM for details!

if you're worried about space on the HDD you can go in and delete older backups

Yeah I mean I have plenty of room on this specific drive.  Time machine does incremental backups between fulls if you do them regularly.  I just didn't think it would be THAT big/change since my last one.

Just saw that K-State is removing the Information Systems program from the Computer Science department. This kind of sucks considering that's the degree I graduated with.

They are basically just consolidating the 3 degrees they had into just CS.  Long story short they have had IS since the late 90's and it hadn't changed with the times much.  They are gonna focus more on CS degrees with an emphasis in a area, with tracts from like Junior year on.

Ah, this makes more sense. My junior year they changed the format of the IS degree to change with times, as you said, but I guess they decided to not continue. So, with the new CS degrees, they will be able to choose like a Business tract if they want?
