Sightly OT: e-readers

Computer vs. typewriter vs. long hand

Gary, you have my sympathy. I too had a terrible case of fountain pen obsession for several years, and I have a desk full of pens to prove it. Keeping in mind the axiom that the addict is never cured,...

New Outliner for Windows
10/30/2009
Good start, Fedir. I've purchased a licence and I look forward to seeing the program develop.
Like many PC users, I have been waiting for a PC clone of Scrivener for a long time. I'll certainly test Storybox, and if it's even vaguely promising, I'll probably avail of the "early adopter" pricin...
Scrivener-like outliner for Windows?
9/24/2009
Yes, I had the same experience myself using Word for (very) long documents. I came close to disaster once when I was up against a short deadline. Bizarrely, I saved the day by copying the file from Wo...

8/6/2009
Bob,
Maybe I don't understand your needs, but why do you need to save the spreadsheet's contents into another program? Presuming they email it to you, I'd just save a copy into a folder.
After that ...
