Yes. Ideally, I'd love to have something out of the box with new
operating systems that works as efficiently for writers as XyWrite.

I'd love not having to spend so much time dealing with technical
problems, so that I'm able to keep using the only decent writing
software that I know of. Plus rushing to buy computers and printers
that will still work with XyWrite as they become obsolete for the rest
of the world.
