Eh, the fine-points of distinction can often be avoided in a simple enough
application, and word-processing hardly needs blinding speed, so the
slowness shouldn't matter much in that application. Java sounds like a
Good Plan to me.

I think I might be interested in working on a project like this. I am a computer programmer by trade and going to school part time, but I think that I could enjoy making time for this project.

The idea of using Java sounds appealing for the same reasons given by the author below. There are some reservations, however. The Java wars are still raging and Java tends to be just a tad slow for the average end-user's expectations. I always know that if an app is dragging, then it's bound to be written in Java - but then, that might be Microsoft's way of "helping" java die out :)
