google docs

i'm not totally sold on google documents. i think it's useful if you've already got a document that you want to share or are working on with a group. using this service to create a document from scratch seems beside the point unless you're doing something simple. (here's an old file to illustrate) at the moment google docs feels like it's technology for technology's sake. just because you can update something doesn't always mean that it's going to be better or have more functionality, or that something else doesn't do the job just as well.
