Steven Poole: Goodbye, cruel Word
I’ve been very interested in software “minimalism” lately as every update to Microsoft Office and Firefox seems to add things I’m not interested in.
Steven Poole’s article on his quest for becoming a more productive writer is interesting to me.
When I bought a new MBP last month I opted not to install Microsoft Office at all. I’ve been functioning just fine using Pages/Numbers/Keynote/TextMate.
Yeah! Wife has had a similar experience.
The problem is that she ends up having to convert to Word all the time to use OpenOffice on her netbook that runs Ubuntu.
