Word isn't even an editor, it is a bloody word processor. You can't program or do any scientific or technical work in Word. You can't even write a lousy crime novel in Word - when you are done, the people at the publishing house has to typeset it before they turn it to the people who (physically) produce the books. I have never heard of Google-docs or how that could be used as a programming and/or document-producing interface, but I don't like web programming, web tools, or the like. I did Javascript, PHP, CGI, etc., at school, and besides HTML/CSS (which isn't programming) I don't see the point in any of that. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
