Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.
A rocket scientist over in [info]techsupport seems to think that Americans invented the English language and that people in the UK and Australia don't speak English.

Good times.

I don't use Word anymore. I don't trust it. Not since losing a buttload of fic back in 2003 or 4. It was heartbreaking and I thought, "Fuck you Word, I'm using Wordpad." That doesn't have any features, but it also doesn't crash. Then Open Office came along, thank the Gods.

I use Word mostly because our computers are so locked down I can't install Open Officw, and also because I invariably forget to swap the formats when I email stuff, and it makes my supervisor cry.

In fairness, it doesn't crash, exactly. Sometimes it just doesn't open the document at all.

Well, I'm writing fan fic so I don't have the same worries you do, obviously. LOL.

Oh, aren't computers fun?!

My sweet young officemates are learning a lot of new ways to insult Bill Gate's mother, if that's what you mean by fun, yes.

Strangely enough, that's exactly what I meant!
