    Oh hell no. The nightmare that MS Publisher is to professional graphic designers is the nightmare that this will be to professional writers and editors.

    As we speak, Tere is downloading it upstairs. I don't think Apple or Microsoft gave her a choice. Ugh. Good thing she's a good writer and has an in-house authority.

    Do you have Office 365? I think that's what triggered it for Tere.

We may doze, but we never close.

And no more comments because Blogger seems no longer to offer the option to block spammers.

If you're a spammer, I'll be at your door shortly with your check from Publishers' Clearing House. Just give me your address, so that I can make sure you're home.
