One of my customers who is a very good legal secretary said that
her productivity dropped 50% when the law firm required she use
Microsoft Word instead of WordPerfect for DOS.

Personally I prefer vim and groff for most things, and DocBook
XML for creating web documents, plain text and PDF files.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't
they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning

years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
