Hey, Paul --

Tell me where I can get the functionality of the following programs, all of which are essential to my professional (and personal) life, and I'll be out of Windows like a shot: 

XyWrite (ASCII-based, fast, powerful, no memory limits WP, with my HTML conversion/creation custom programs), PhotoShop, Xenu (on/off-line link checker), HTML-Kit (for creating/editing/ftp-ing Web sites), ECCO (PIM, but really an outliner, plus endlessly customizable database, which also launches files and/or programs -- and everything can be output/input to/from ASCII files).

Of course, those are not the only programs I ever need (e.g., also use PageMaker intensively, if irregularly, to typeset books and manuals; plus old Frelance sometimes, which can make standalone DOS-based diskettes). As far as I know, Linux software doesn't come close to meeting my needs. Yet.

Oh, and please throw in APL while you're at it -- if I have to program beyond what XPL (XyWrite's extended programming language) can handle, I prefer to use APL (or its newer cousine, J). Think you can handle all that? Thanks! (I really don't like Windows, even the NT I have on this machine.)

Cheers --

P.S. Don't rush to answer -- I am about to go through another possibly month-long "eclipse" of Internet access, so you've got up to a month to tell me how to upgrade. (-8
