• I wrote this article without the aid of word processing software loaded on my computer. • I used several computers in several locations to write this article without using a flashdrive to move the file. • I shared this article with the editors of L&L without attaching it to an e-mail. • I saved my electronic draft in a place where I will have access to the content, even if my laptop is lost, the external hard drive where I keep my backups fails, and the new version of Microsoft Office refuses to open my file format. • And I am doing all of these things at no cost.
