I really liked article, and the “green screen” technique is really useful to eliminate distractions. For Word 2007 and soon for Word 2003 (I don’t know why the former came out first) I use Writespace (http://www.codeplex.com/writespace) which at the touch of a button turns Word 2007 into a full screen basic editor. I really like new templates though, so thanks for the article.

I think you missed the point completely.If one can use software like Darkroom as a writing tool, then this also is not too way off the mark.
Anyway, thanks for the IgNobel:)Did you know that they are given for achievements that ‘first make people laugh, and then make them think.’ That counts for something!

Yup, I read somewhere that Microsoft is even falling back on older, more energy efficient processors in some server designs as a green initiative! Think about that…:)

I cannot presume to know the comfort level with computers of everyone who reads our posts. Thus, it’s always better to explain it with as many screenshots as possible. And weren’t we all neophytes once

Interesting… so we made all this way through Windows and GUI just to go back to DOS and the text editors from the 80s! History is cyclic!

Is it ironic or simply telling that you needed ~600 words and 10 images to show us how to make something “minimal”?
