I've been writing a research paper for a seminar that I've been attending. Now, expository writing is not my forte, but it's a good course with a great teacher and it's something I need practice doing. However, I've been doing my writing in Okito Composer, which is a slightly dated beta word processor that never came to fruition, as before the final product could be completed, the company got bought out by Nisus. Composer has served me well for quite some time, but it has apparently reached the end of its cooperative rope, and has developed a nasty habit of working fine until I've written a fair-sized paragraph or so, and then crashing as soon as I try to save. For the time being I am continuing the project in Appleworks, but am keeping my eyes open for a user-intuitive, free, and aqua-native word processor to keep me going. That aside, I'm on the high end of a mood swing, and am riding it for all that it's worth. ^_^
