Good point... all the web stuff reverts back to them basically having
the same description even though we all know that's not fundamentally
true. I seem to stand technically corrected. I guess the right tool
for the right job lies in the hands of the person doing the work. I
grew up with distinct descriptions and uses, but this new 2.0 world
that we now live in has changed from years of old. The next thing you
know the kids will be saying Fords are luxury cars because they have
leather seats.

The defense rest its case because of an inability to prove that there
is a difference between text editors and word processors. I wonder why
they are called two different things and more often than not word
processors have more functionality and produce a better type set and
formatted outlay. I believe in the right tool for the job and in most
cases a document in the business world can't be created and structured
using note pad or Text Edit.

I'd tell them that wordpad is built-in and that it has limitted word

What about Mail Shaun? you can do all kinds of things in Mail.

David I can type text just about anywhere in Leopard that doesn't
make
it word processing. Data entry maybe but not word processing. If
someone asked you if you could do word processing on a Windows box I
am sure you wouldn't tell them that Notepad was their guy, would you?

Hi all,
We do wordprocessing on the Mac more than we think. I know people
who use
mail to compose all their documents.
