Thanks guys.

I agree -- Abiword just crashes too much to be trusted, although I appreciate the effort that went into porting it across. But it has to be said that I've been following Abiword since the early days on Linux (pre v1) and it's always had problems. I want to love this program, but I can't. I even collared one of the developers at a Linux fair once and told him so.

I think I'll be using Notes for my word processing needs. I can't comment on whether word processing is possible, but I'm anticipating it will be. Most of all, I'm looking forward to going to a coffee shop with a word processor that will fit into my pocket.
