Not "Word" as in "Yo hommies!"

Word as in that piece of crap Microsoft a***-bandit word processing pile of poo.

I have a report to do. It has lots of screen shots in, so it's about 30 pages. It's about 1.9MB, to big to fit on a floppy disk, so I zip it up, and all is hunky dory.

Except, I make a few chances, add in a little text, SHRINK some pictures, so they all fit nice on the page without leaving huge qhite gaps, and save it again.

2.3MB.

WTF!??!

Now the bloody thing won't fit on a disk even if I zip the f####r up!

Word!

By the way this was mainly copied of the Simpsons from a Homer quote and not, in fact, a death threat to the SR forum user Flanders.

Just wanted to point that one out.

I think there is an important lesson here. Microsoft just makes you madder and madder until you wish Flanders was dead.

Of course your best option is to invest in CD information storage as people have been suggesting. Have you tried breaking the file up into components and saving on several discs?

I thought you could fit about 2mb on a floppy disk?

I also thought nobody used them anymore...

Word sucks.

Anyway, I'm at uni and there's no CD Writers, so I can't even do that.

Bollards.

If you don't like it, you could always use Mac OS or Linux...
