    Ha, well, thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt. But I am 32 and hopeless when it comes to following popular culture. I was probably just focusing my attention on someth…

    Short motivation: I was thinking for a short moment to myself, "how hard could it be to support at least some limited reading and editing of .docx files?" Now I know that I will pr…
