Greetings From Nisus Land
It's In The Clouds For Some Reason
I find it amazing that people stare at me for wearing a grocery bag instead of my pants. It's no big deal really. The bag is comfy, and gives me a freedom I don't have with pants. And they are cheap. Or, I am just being green.
Come on people, work with me here!
OK, the real reason is because I have forgotten where I put my pants.
Yes, I feel like a jerk. Happy now?
Me too.
Anyway, let me get started by saying that the term cloud computing has been thrown around a lot lately. Now I am not sure why this so called cloud computing thing is interesting to so many people.
When I think of clouds, I think of these. When I think of computing, I think of this. Why do I want my important documents in a cloud? I mean, it's crazy ... crazy I tell you!
I'm telling you, clouds are for rain, and for keeping things cool in the winter, and warm in the summer. Or is that the other way around? In any event, clouds are not for keeping your important documents. Or your mail.
At least not yet, anyway.
And, whatever you do, always keep your pants where you can find them. You never know when you may actually need them.

Nisus Writer Pro Printed Manual
Now Updated for Pro 1.1
Last newsletter, I wrote that we have updated our Nisus Writer Pro printed manual. This newsletter, I will do the same, because I like to recycle as much old material as I can.
Against my better judgement, we have updated the printed Nisus Writer Pro manual with the latest features of Pro 1.1. Look, this was hard work, and I am opposed to that because ... well, I don't like to work, OK? It's just not my thing.
The cost is $25 plus shipping, and you can purchase it immediately from our store.
So if you would like a perfect bound 380 or so page hard copy manual to go along with your new copy of Nisus Writer Pro, please feel free to order and enjoy.
