- Well, I do own a copy of WordPerfect, and it's a nice proof of concept.
-
- As a product, it stinks. I swear, the program's artificial intelligence. It
- ARGUES with you! "Nah, you don't really want that graphic to be 3.5"x2.5".
- Here, I'll make it a nice 3.273"x2.034" for you." "Here, let me move this
- figure two pages down." Or, my favorite: "You must be tired. Let me make
- all of the pages blank."
-
- Of every hour I use WP, about 40 minutes are used to undo its spontaneous
- changes. I do "save" every five minutes, and "revert to saved" three minutes
- after each "save."
-
- If 6.0 is another prototype thrown at us, I'm not paying a red cent for the
- upgrade. As far as I'm concerned, they still owe us a working version. And
- an apology.
