Over on the GameInformer channel, in the episode celebrating the 25th year of the Sony Playstation, at the eight minute mark, the problem there is how to write a history of the Sony Playstation with draft notes on interviews collected numbering more than 60-pages. There, they say Microsoft Word is woefully inadequate to the task of working a document 60-pages and more. The discussants are college educated with the kind of unconventional smart to stack discount coupons for a greater compound discount for a very, very big 8k T.V. I'd like to think the new elispintro will help them at their work on that Sony Playstation hitory project. The initial GameInformer website was constructed by reading a book on HTML.
