Writing for the web

From arstechnica.com …

Jeremt Reiner has an interesting take (in Ars Technica) on the prospects of Microsoft Word in the wiki-based world. I must say that I agree with his premise - the tools I used to write and edit text nowadays are not significantly different to those I used on a mainframe computer in the mid-70s. My need for formatting has disappeared and my printers haven't been used to actually print anything in months. Instead, I too have been running MediaWiki on my laptop for the last few years to develop articles, talks and other correspondence. It just works ;-P
