What do you use to get the Job done?

Slashdot, a geek news service, has an interesting article about writer’s choices of tools. They mainly focus on word processors, of course, but it goes beyond that. There are some rather insightful comments about the article, too. Especially, the comment made that, basically, all we need in a word processing program is Open, Save, Bold, Italic, Underline, Spellcheck, and Print. What else do you really need to get the message accross? That’s all I use in this blog, for instance. So, do we need to spend big money on the latest version of Microsoft Word? Not really. We can do just fine with the free Wordpad, if we’re willing to use an actual dictionary instead of Spellcheck.
So, what are you waiting for? Go start writing!
