desperanceIn Son of Other News, SoftMaker has finally released the Linux edition of its latest version of my word processor of choice. Hurrah and yippee and shiny!
The only question in my head is whether I spend $45 on the Linux edition alone, or $80 to upgrade both Linux and the Windows installation that I never use but, y'know, it's for fallback. Especially as there have been times I've needed to fall back, and there is little more annoying than not being able to open a file because it was created in a later version of the software and things just aren't forward-compatible.
Or of course I could wait for the inevitable bug-fix release, and hope for a better special offer...
Some would say *dithers* at this point, but I prefer *cogitates*. (I always picture little cogs going around, linking thought to thought in an irresistible process towards an inevitable conclusion...)
