Goodbye, cruel Word
,----[ Quote ]
| So that’s how it is now. I write within the pure, glowing universes of
| Scrivener and WriteRoom. I send articles to the Guardian as plain-text rather
| than .doc. I am confident that I will be able to open those articles and the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| chapters of my book again, if I want to, in 30 years’ time. And now a
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| 1000-word review weighs 4K instead of 30K. I weep at all the innocent
| electrons I wastefully killed over the years, sending those massive,
| lumbering Word documents through the internet. I apologise for my particle
| profligacy. I have learned my lesson. Goodbye, cruel Word.

| Now, in 2007, the concept of software as a commodity is rapidly wearing off
| again. Today, it’s all about the service and maintenance - something that
| Microsoft isn’t prepared to deal with.
