[NPMUG] A great free replacement for AppleWorks (Word Processor)

[Patrick Cranston]

I had a need for a basic word processing.  I find that Word and Pages  
are too much for my needs and are a bit cumbersome to use for basic  
documents.  However, TextEdit is too minimal.

Several months ago I came across Bean.  Its a lightweight word  
processor that has all the features I use on a regular basis and not  
of the bulk of Word or Pages.   It launches quickly, simple to use and  
learn, and is rock solid.  I know a lot of long time Mac users still  
use AppleWorks for these reasons.  If you are still using Appleworks,  
this is worth a look.

It also saves files in .rtf, .doc, and .docx formats so you can share  
documents easily with other people not using Bean.

Best of all it's free...
