Keyboard shortcuts and lack of distracting internet can also be worked around (emacs has a WordStar compatibility mode because of course it does it even models WordStar's marker system). Emacs.vi.nano.even WordPad (it's been a long time since I've used that maybe it does red underlining these days). To be clear, I am casting no aspersions here - use what you wanna use!īut the perfidy of spell check and auto-correct seem like fairly easy problems to avoid if you wanted to use a computer that didn't require you to mail floppies to your publisher. I wonder how much of this is a deliberately cultivated form of eccentricity.
