A very light word processor

Checking this new “light” word processor called Atlantis.  I just downloaded it.  Although for years I have been working in M.S. Word it is needlessly quite a bulky software and takes ages to load on my laptop.  This particularly becomes a nuisance when I have to open attachments from my clients, multiple times in an hour sometimes, and when I have to quickly write a few paragraphs (okay, I must admit I cannot write without a word processor). I needed a word processor that I could keep running all the time without it hogging the memory and slowing down other applications. So when I did a search on “very light word processors” I found Atlantis, and right now I’m typing in it.  It seems quite good; loaded immediately and it has all the functions that I need on a daily basis.  It has been designed on the concept of 10/90, that means, 90% of word processing work can be achieved by just 10% of the features presented by most of the off-the-shelf word processing packages and a totally agree.

Undoubtedly M.S. Word is a lot cooler than Atlantis, with very neat looks and an array of features (that I have never used ever since I started using it since the days of Windows 3.11).  Nonetheless, for a few days I am definitely going to give this new word processor a try. If you want it, you can download it here. It’s free (oh! not free, costs $35, but the trial lasts for a month).
