Emeritus Prof. Christopher May (chrismayla6@mastodon.me.uk)'s status on Wednesday, 15-Jul-2026 23:15:48 JST Emeritus Prof. Christopher May
Today Microsoft finally disabled my old version of Word making it read-only because I refuse to spend money on a new MacBookAir, now that my old one will no longer update its MacOS.
Anyone out there have any recommendations for a (preferably free) simple word processor that would allow me to produce new documents that are readable (happy if that means I have to concert them to PDFs for distribution) & to edit old Word files (less need).
thanks in advance
