What i want to understand is that, with the exception of it being easier for the network guys, how does using a wordprocessor that requries more memory to load, creates larger files, takes up more disk space, is counter- intuitive, and makes me LESS productive! Why is that EVEN an option? (Might have something to do with the price? :) I can't stand word, but have to use it for certain things, but use XY & NB for all the others! I think if everyone started demanding better software, or at least not buying every new thing, that seems to just add to the code-blaoted software we have, maybe we might have some quality sw again. my 2 cents.
