@film_girl (I think MS’s online sales are skating to where Adobe’s puck was about five years ago. Which is not a good place to be…)

@film_girl The FAQ *quite clearly* says “These are available in stores or online.” So, you know, a store. Or online. Maybe try a butcher.

@C_J_Fox @hayles You know Emacs comes pre-installed, right? ;)

@C_J_Fox @hayles …probably lots of other options, including free. Scrivener awesome for actual writing, plus Win version if you switch back.

@C_J_Fox @hayles Coda is awesome, but, yes, much more than a text editor. BBEdit less than half the price and excellent text editor. But…

@Narshada I’m enjoying it so far. Though it’s taken a back seat to the X100T recently. Better weather sealing won today though!

@Narshada I did dry it off soon after. My 60D looked like that on occasion and was fine, and I don’t think that one even claims weatherseal.

@C_J_Fox Yup, I used VirtualBox without problems for many years. Hear dual-boot’s better for games, but that’s not really a games machine.
