I love TextEdit. Even more since it can read Microshaft Document files *grin* There is only one beef - it doesn't support split columns at ALL!!! You can't create them, you can't view them - and this is a major problem that almost cost me a publication tonight. If Dr. Abraham hadn't been on stand by waiting for my desperate plea for help, our paper would have missed the "photo ready" deadline. I was about to start sweating bullets. I mean, I knew that TextEdit couldn't do split columns, but I thought that Lyx might be able to... and it very well may be able to, but that is of little use if you can't save the .lyx file in some other (useful) format. Which I wasn't able to do, at least not with the version available via Fink. I guess I should have tried the MacLyx variety but I was concerned about Library linkage, etc.... oh well. Perhaps the next paper won't require such rigid formating.

Maryna and I saw The Last Samurai tonight after a long day of wedding planning... it was a reward of sorts. The movie was very good; a little gory, but all in all, very good. I recommend it.
