Thanks for your kind comment.<BR/><BR/><B>Paul</B>: As you know, there are now three massive sparring partners in the personal computing ring. In the blue corner, Microsoft. In the red corner, Apple. In a yellowy third corner, a fiery young Antarctic antagonist, Linux. Finally, the Mac guy is the only one of the three who doesn't give a damn about how the other two fellows might be boxing.<BR/><BR/><B>Catherine</B>: The Pages tool is part of Apple's iWork package, which sells for 80 euros. I strongly recommend this investment for Mac users who want to write.William Skyvingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052367756561555096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8627322010786735293.post-21170647736045575462008-08-25T15:56:00.000+02:002008-08-25T15:56:00.000+02:00I've been a Mac lover since the very first one, th...I've been a Mac lover since the very first one, the little 512 K, around 1985 (as Paul said about his brother!). <BR/><BR/>What a wonderful piece of writing you have done on word processing; you have put into such excellent words so much of what I have been thinking about over these few short years (hah-hah, time flies when you're getting old!). Where can I find Apple's "pages?" Never heard of it, want to try it! <BR/><BR/>Great post on your part.
