(Following is an attempt at satire)

Today I learned why I detest the default document settings in Microsoft Word:

From all the news reports today I figure that Microsoft must have based Normal.dot (the default Word document) on a 1970's era IBM Selectric typewriter! It's irrefutable. Somebody found some old documents from the 70's and when you retype them in Word, guess what? They look the same! (I'm thinking IBM may be taking Microsoft to court on this one soon).

I am also betting Microsoft must of hired this guy named Jerry Killian when they were programming the automatic word wrap feature. If you compare the ends of lines on a modern Word document, they end just were Mr. Killian would have ended them. I hope his family is getting royalties for this.
