Found: The Perhect word processor.
« on: December 04, 2007, 12:33 PM »
My search is over, and no, I didn't misspell it.

As word processing software becomes ever more advanced, correcting syntax and spelling errors, these familiar programmes begin to impose a standardised corporate language onto our writing.

Takahashi has produced her own fully functioning online version which undermines this dehumanising process. Reclaiming the initiative back from the software...

Great find, Edvard   :up:

Tomos... you don't suppose... it's a silly joke about "minding your Ps and Qs"?

Yep, that's what I thought, too.

But the more you think about it, the less it seems like a joke and the more it challenges your notions of work we do on a computer. Kind of like a software extension of the joke (whose subject is the proverbial fair-haired female with low intelligence but high enthusiasm)
"How do you know when a (proverbial character) has been on your computer? There's white-out on the screen."

How could you not love the UI? Reminds me a little of the original MacWrite.

I'm usually too literal about things - in this case not literal enough I guess :-\ :)
