I use the RTF format to save documents I make on my laptop. I use
AbiWord and I email the files to my Yahoo account. When I get to school
I download the files from my Yahoo account, open the files in Word, and
then print them out.
Simple and effective. I get to use a product I like on the platform I
like and only have to use Word for printing. What a wonderful way to do
homework :P

this must explain why microsofties are so uptight and crabby. THeir
programs are always crashing and they get behind on their work which
makes their stress level rise and they begin to sweat and get snappy
when the deadline rolls around :) That would be called being in tune
with your OS. The OS makes you that way. Cause and effect I guess. Good
relationship, lol

Considering the "quality" of their Linux port, we owe MS a bit of gratitude

Some of the mnemonics might change.
However, my research on the QWERTY vs Dvorak debate has turned
NO test showing incresed productivity for Dvorak keyboards
other than the ones conducted BY Lieutenant Dvorak himself
in 1942-43.
"Network effects" do not hold water. Look at how we transitioned
from leaded gasoline to unleaded gasoline....relatively painlessly.
If there were truly any increased productivity from Dvorak
typewriters, IBM would have produced a QWERTY/Dvorak
selector switch on the IBM selectric.
Since NOBODY was able to reproduce Dvorak's results, the issue
should be forgotten.

And this is why it is so fucked up.
the code-base should EXPAND while preserving backwards
compatability. This can be done EVEN if you add more
arguments in later versions of a library call.
Instead, rather than growing the code base, keeping
distinct lineages for each call, Microsoft instead
chooses to STIR the code base...
The ONLY reason being to *cripple* competitors products,
because those writing Word XXX will always know about
library changes, and even be able to test their code,
LONG before anybody at WordPerfect.
Same goes for any other software.

Ever hear of Structured Storage??? Besides, what is a file system but
a crappy database?

And yet look at the number of security problems in *nix systems -
those infamous DOS attacks weren't lauched from Windoze platforms, now
were they??

a non-technical person isn't going to know the port, address, or irq for
a device anyway if they have to configure it manually under Windows(they
won't know what any of those mean anway), so the same problem exists.
When a resource conflict arises they are going to have to know how to
fix it. If they don't they take it to a shop. If they don't know how to
do it in Linux I'm sure they have a friend who knows what to do. When u
start using nontechnical people as a an arugment for people not being
able to use Linux you end up with a losing battle as nontechnical people
can't use Windows either.
