GDocs vs. ThinkFree vs. Zoho vs. MS Office
CWmike writes "Web-based productivity suites, once almost a contradiction in terms, have become real challengers to desktop applications.

Just give up already, you want to spend the money and buy a nice new Vista PC. Piano black, the ribbon, veterans love it and newbies grok it. It all works together so well it's like a dream. Opens your old documents and saves the new ones in a better than internationally accepted standards way.

Think of how it will train your children in the skills every office demands. Yeah, now your wallet is moving.

Just for humor's sake, you should teach a lesson one day about how Microsoft software makes your intelligence fall. I'm sure it's pretty easy to come up with a reasonable formula for it's rate of change. Even better, play the Balmer videos. Everyone loves those. :-P

We accept Pay-Pal.

Why use another machine? I'm sure EMACS has an SSH client built into it somewhere...
SJW n. One who posts facts.

And then nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.
type "killall -9 emacs"
No. "shutdown -r now" from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Yup, collaboration must be a killer feature for a one-man shop.
