Doesn't matter.  If I wanted the high-end features, I couldn't buy them.

Dream on.  Read-only Word is already given away, IIRC.  But even a Word 10

most users really care.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
