Comments on: Things I hate http://bit-of-ivory.com/2004/03/24/things-i-hate/ "on which I work with a brush so fine as to produce little effect after much labour" -- Jane Austen Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:57:51 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.41 By: Emily http://bit-of-ivory.com/2004/03/24/things-i-hate/#comment-727 Fri, 26 Mar 2004 10:12:34 +0000 http://bit-of-ivory.com/?p=570#comment-727 But. . . can’t I hate Microsoft for *both*? ‘Cause I despise its business practices as much as its products.

The only people who truly like Word, I’m convinced, are people who have never used WordPerfect. I grew up with WordPerfect– we had it at home starting with version 5.2, and since it was a Utah company they gave really good deals to the schools, so I used it there, too. I’ve had to use Word more and more– they took WP off the public machines at BYU, which made me want to scream– and I *can* use it, but I don’t like it and never will. I will cry my eyes out if Corel ever decides to stop making it. Siriusly.

I usually don’t mind Word that much.
