The real question is
Did you look at the list and wonder why it was out of order?
Just curious since I notice that sort of behavior out of many "nerds" myself included.

I use nano in an xterm where I used to use metapad in Windows (it's like
notepad, but faster and more powerful. Haven't seen an equivelant here.)
For the rest I managed to get the libc5 only Corel WP8 for Linux to
work, so I use that. Got to love the submarine screen thingy. And OO.org
to convert my WP stuff to more recent formats. (I find most people can
open RTF documents without problems.) |
