Well - I did employ my Plus/4 for "serious" work actually. Besides of Script/Plus (I had the German version on eproms which replaced the 3+1 software), my "Commodore driven" office consisted of a Calc/Plus cartridge which was adapted to the expansion port, and Superbase I used as well - there was a Plus/4 Superbase edition on sale at abt. 80 DM, IIRC.
With that software, I was able to run a real office. Worked flawless.
Being on the subject of text & graphics:
It's strange that nobody here remembers Hermann Gross' "Printfox" or "Graphic Page". That was very, very nice stuff as well. I have them both and I like them. BTW, Hermann Gross' "Printfox" doesn't have anything to do with the C-64 wordprocessor "Printfox" written by Hans Haberl. The C64 "Printfox" was launched about 1985/86. Hermann Gross' "Printfox" -which succeeded his DTP program "Graphic Page"- was on sale in 1991 - when the 8-bit era was going to vanish.
