In TeX to produce a document you have to find an editor, a command line and invoke the TeX compiler
If you have to find an editor or a command line, you're using the wrong OS.
In Word you just type away.
No. In Word, you have to find the goddamn entry in the wonderful adaptive menu system that your POS operating system has hidden from you. You then have to wait while it starts up, type a little and then swear for good 20 seconds as it crashes and takes your document down with it.
While TeX may not be suitable for producing a glossy mag it is most certainly suitable for desktop publishing of articles, letters and books. I would not be without it. Contrarily, if all the WYSIWYG document applications were to vanish into a black hole tomorrow it would be no bad thing.
A second
thumb bar for shift would be much more efficient, in terms of typing speed,
and as an added bonus it reduces by one the number of keys needed.
This very feature was used on the NeXTs and quite brilliant it was too. The NeXT keyboards were a fantastic piece of design in total, but this addition of the extra thumb bar was easily the greatest innovation.
At $3 a share (as during last year) the capitalisation is a mere $52 million. That means that any group with $26 million could take control of the company. So, if 260,000 open source advocates buy $100 of SCO stock, the group as a whole would have control. They could easily fire McBride, halt the legal action and refuse to sell the IPR to anyone, thus keeping it in their control.
That's probably a poor investment, financially speaking, but it might be the best $100 you ever spent.

I think if other companies want their browsers to be used, they should give them a name that has INTERNET in it.
Hmmm, I haven't noticed OmniWeb taking over the world yet. (not "internet" I grant you, but the closest others have come)
