Yep, that's what I'm saying.  Both portions of it got worth as things
progressed; the user interface, and the engine that drives it.  I should
dig out my Word 2.0 CD and use Wine, just so that I can remember why I
liked that one better.

Whee.  We need to get you an account on a functional machine.  Hmm,

server on Monday, with "unlimited" space, essentially (4GB for starters,
8GB trivially added)
