minus-squareCoffeeAddict@artemis.camplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoRight? I never quite understood who it was actually for, either. I mean, notepad makes sense, but wordpad just seemed like a worse version of MS Word. I guess it could have been for those who needed something more sophisticated than notepad but didn’t want to spend money to get Word? Idk, that’s the only reason I can think of right now lol.
minus-squareballs_expertlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoIs that not enough of a reason for you? Seems like a big one to me
minus-squareCoffeeAddict@artemis.camplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI mean, it is a reason. I’ve always just had access to MS Office, so I never really thought about it or familiarized myself with the program. I suppose if there were a time I didn’t have Word, and I needed a word processor, then I would use it.
