Did anybody look at Mellel? That seems like a pretty good, basic, word processor. <http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13254&db=mac> Not affiliated in any way with it. Just saw it, downloaded it and gave it a try. I would think that, for most users, that would just do the trick. It won't replace Word, and I'm sure that a lot of the Nisus followers will protest that it won't replace Nisus either, but try to give it a try without any bias... I'm saying this because, over the years, first as an Apple technical support guy, later as a programmer, I don't think there is any other type of application that seems to be so personal than a word processor. People would die for their word processor.

To destroy utterly. Like frag, but much more violent and final. "There's no trace left. You definitely gibbed that bug". 2. n. Remnants after total obliteration. Originated first by id software in the game Quake. It's short for giblets (thus pronounced "jib"), and referred to the bloody remains of slain opponents. Eventually the word was verbed, and leaked into general usage afterward. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
