[ale] I'm going to hate myself

[wolf at wolfhalton.info]

Open office.

I have written 2 books in openoffice.org and it works great for that.
I don't care much for the collaboration tools because they do not give
you or your collaborators clear thoughts. 
Someday when I have lots more time, I want to learn TeX, but it has
always looked like learning another markup language (so far). 

I have heard some rave reviews for the newest M$ Office, but I have not
heard anything that suggests it will be useful in my particular writing
specialty.

I am obligated to say "Google Docs" at this point.

Google Docs.

That's all.
