That doesn't say too much.  *Stones* are superior to IBM machines,
*especially* if they're running MS-DOS (The IMBs, not the stones. 
Stones don't run MS software at all - another reason why they are
superior).

I am writing this and all my fanfics in !Zap.  It's an editing
program for the Acorn, and is pretty much a tuned-up version of
Emacs.  I does *everything* I need, is completely programmable,
infinitely extensible - heck, it even disassembles machine code
into mnemonics.  In *colour*!

As for spell-checking:  You whimps!

A-heh, I tell a lie, I *do* spell-check my fics before I post
them, but since I use my parent's computer and MS-Word for that
task, I always feel, well, *dirty* afterwards.  Impure.  I think
I'll get Gnuspell and write an interface to use it in !Zap.  :P

The marvels of today's modern technology include the development
of a soda can, when discarded will last forever and a $7,000 car
which when properly cared for will rust out in two or three years.
