And, if you sent T/Maker $35 you could continue to use WriteNow after
you leave Cornell, for a total price 
of $15+$35 = $50

Opinion:  WriteNow is a very nice program.  The user interface is
          (nearly) perfect.  It keeps a low profile, but is very capable.
             (Only problem is a few capabilities are 
              only accesable via cmd/opt/shift)
