That is HILARIOUS!

Apparently, I have a particularly strong immunity to this ailment. Consider the fact that I’ve continued to make daily use of Clarisworks 5.0, which hasn’t been updated since 1997. I’ve resisted changing to anything else, because I’ve been convinced that nothing will be as good as Clarisworks. I still haven’t seen any software as full-featured and customizable for my purposes, not even Dynalist. The only reason I’m switching is because I need to upgrade my operating system, away from Windows7.

Because I love Clarisworks so much, I’ve just stayed put. I haven’t spent a dime on new outliner software in 23 years.

It appears I have another ailment entirely: PISA. Persistent Intractable Software Inertia.
