Open standards and shareware are cool, great monolith integrated application suites are a necessary evil. The bigger an application is, the more likely it is to have bugs, and the more difficult to support it becomes. And, not really related to Macs per se, see the Xanadu site for info on the history of Hypertext. Evangelists Don't forget to take the oath . Some sigs I've clipped from usenet that I thought were clever.
