Let's not forget about Data Entry and Report Generation.  You may consider these
to be a subset of the above, but I think that would be a big mistake.
programming around forms can be tough work, and reports do not fit will under
text processing per se.  For technical users, these areas are (perhaps
unfortunately) almost nonexistant...but let's remember there are LOTS of
business applications too.
