Word is a bloated chunk of sh**. It's so slow and over-rated. I use
PageMaker for all my documents. It's expensive, but 5x easier to use and
faster and more capable than Word. Yes, I use it on Windows... Have done
so since 1988.

I use Linux for ALL my internet stuff. Web browsing (much faster and more
reliable) It's my job. (the internet stuff)

Never lost data due to a buggy application or due to Redhat. Not a byte...
System backups are fully automated and go to a BIG hard drive on another
linux machine. Very fast and easy to restore if needed.
