Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Was it here someone was lamenting the demise of WordPerfect? 'cause I had someone this morning inquire if we had legal document forms in WordPerfect ... a lawyer, of course (not to disparage lawyers (this time) but because they seem to be the last one clinging to WP.

And, in regard to the Democratic Convention, I liked this article ... and I love the photo.

Pretty much sitting in a multihours long path of thunderstorms. I guess I'm giving up on my swim.

Yeah, that was me. WP had great legal form support and had a wonderful View Codes feature. I wonder if I still have the installation CD from around 2000.

ooh ... I remember View Codes ... it was SO helpful ... and was a great introduction to learning HTML (I still do some hand coding)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, yeah. I have pretty much given up on Facebook except for whatever is at the top of my newsfeed when I happen to look at it. Sorry people I don't have other contact with! I am keeping up with my one friend in Amsterdam pretty well since I guess his bored-in-the-afternoon posts hit when I am getting up and look to see what's going on.

View Codes! Those were the days, my friends.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow we head to Pittsburgh for Confluence. Tonight we pack.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I hadn't said anything, but I preferred WP. The Department of Justice was still using WP when I was still litigating, but I transferred out of that role in 2005.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have this headache if I'd gotten to swim. Grumble.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Pretty much sitting in a multihours long path of thunderstorms.

If they're the ones we had this morning, they're a doozy.

Love,
