[OT] LC's Fields of the Future

[Pete]

I long ago gave up using MsWord and, more recently, Open Office.  Google
Docs is my first choice for WP needs (and spreadsheets, presentations).  I
can see a lot of use for the new features, not in producing a full blown
word processor, but definitely in embedding wp-like functionality where
needed within an app.
