    Yes but a word processor is not worth $300. I am all for anyone making
    a profit, but not when they hold the rest of us over a barrel and
    railroad us with proprietary products that are vastly overpriced and
    marginally better. (and yes I put my money where my mouth is I actually
    buy the distros and software I use and donate to GNU)
