iteration #1

the normal problems

  • I can't carry it around

  • I can't take it to the shitter

  • I can't read it in bed

  • I have to look at it as this upright thing

  • I need 2 grand (now $500, still...) worth of machinery to read it

  • ain't no paperback

On a 3 1/4 disk, how quaint - almost out of date, load it on my Mac, my creative machine as compared to my PC, my dull work machine. Double quaint! It looks like Hypercard! Bitmapped fonts, bummer, the italicized text especially hard to read. Writers used to have printers to lay out their text, to print their work, now some layout possible, but none then. Scary to realize just how far away 1991 is. Look briefly, try the features, click around, get a feel for how it works.
