Without wanting to start a row on a NG that I'm new to, I'm puzzled 
by this praise for Nisus. I have it, I've tried it, but I've never 
liked it. I can't see why someone who writes would prefer it to 
WriteNow. I write for a living, and the fact that I'm using an 
application that's over ten years old is very odd, but there we are.

So is the fact that a computer made over ten years ago also suits me very well.
