Word 6.

I have StarOffice on this computer, actually, and I find it is way to big for my needs. It takes a long time to load, and I hate their desktop thingy. When I go into a writing program, I want a blank sheet as soon as possible. I often end up writing things in notepad because even wordpad is too slow to load. I should take Word 6 of my other computer and put it on this one, and get rid of StarOffice. The "art" programs aren't that great in it, either.

If you plan to just write for most of the day, then StarOffice is a good program for it. I like to multi-task, with play evenly distributed as well. So I go on the net, create artwork, edit my website, chat on YM, work on my midis, read all my forums, work on mp3.com stuff, write my stories, etc...

And I barely EVER use a spell-checker.
