Re: wordperfect 5.1 for unix, and debian?

[Karen Lewellen <klewellen@shellworld.net>]

I seem to recall making this point when i shared that while I respect the 
*personal*  computing choices of others, I need not emulate them.
In fact I never asked for word processing suggestions at all.  Mine, 
works, for,  me...and I think the rich thing about computing is the 
freedom to  use what works for you.
What is making me smile besides the   useless discussion comment from 
Curt, is the insistence, on a list that focuses on  building computer 
programs from   source, and where individual contributions are 
encouraged...is the suggestion that anyone at all has to use the same word 
processor.  That and the idea that anyone can decide what is superior for 
another person's computer choices.
I picked this note at random because I was surprised so many were still 
talking about this.
It is called personal computer for a reason.  i honor your idea of 
personal for you,  may you , and you know who you are, learn to do the 
same.
