I only keep Word 97 for envelopes, and the ease of word documents (pasted from Firefox) for d/l to my PDA.
Yes, I could use OO for saving into Word format, but it likes to go to the internet for embedded objects that Word 97
ignores, and since I generally block it, it has to time out, and then, it will sometimes crash.
If I really wanted linked objects...I'd save the damn stuff as a Web Page.
Most "upgrades" are usually bloatware.
Ah, for the days of Brief. I'd include Emacs, but Emacs wasn't exactly svelt.
Underware made the -best- -editor- -ever-!
There are things I could do with Brief macros in 5 minutes, that I still can't do without spending a hell of a lot of time and effort to do in any editor around today. Best of all, a zipped copy would fit on a floppy. It was a part of my emergency toolkit back in the day.
