Still had the best spell checker dictionary. Have an aquaintance who was
high up at Wordstar and he said he told the CEO that they need to look at
this Windows thing, that Gates was handing out preliminary copies of. CEO
said, did not need to change. Bad decision.

Silliness. At least 90% of what I have written professionally my entire
life has been turned in as straight text. Once it is approved, it is
given to a graphics artist for design, if necessary, outside
typesetting, if necessary, and paste-up. What the hell need would I have
of all the idiotic key functions beyond the occasional bold, ital, et
cetera?

I've never been an amateur or semi-pro desktop publisher type. At the
professional level, DTP is for graphics designers. It's their rice bowl.

I still used notepad for most of what I wrote in the business
environment, but when the cutsies objected I just pasted it
to Word to get the pretty fonts/title centering/paging they so like.
Word or equivalent *is* better for the finished product.

joy!
