My story is similar to Mike's except I actually spent time with a word processor prior to Scripsit. It was written in interpreter basic on a TRS-80 Model 1. Currently, I'm using Word from Office 2003. I'm currently learning to work in Linux and looking at several word processors. Which brings me to my point... Life is a series of learning experiences. There are pros and cons of every application software and operating system. Word is the current standard. Something else will be standard in a few years.
