I’d switch at that point. I’ve only not switched because the pain isn’t worth the reward right now. I’d have to learn a bunch of new apps and hasn’t been worth it.

Start charging a subscription fee. I’ll learn to use whatever tools a priority.

Trust me, it’s already worth it. Literally every other operating system in existence is better than windows. I’d use Temple OS before going back.

When you think of a word processor you think of Word.

Only if you’re a cretin! The only thing one should envision when thinking of a word processor is WordPerfect 1.21a for the Apple IIgs!

Envisioning Calligra Words is also acceptable.
