I like McSink a lot, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to
computer-phobes.  For simple basic text editing for people who don't
like computers, miniWRITER has a lot to recommend it.  McSink and
Vantage are more for people who need power (and it has plenty....)

My mom is something of a computer-phobe herself; she doesn't have
too much trouble using MacWrite.  You might have trouble finding the
original version, though.

For small size, yes.  I don't think power is what these reporters
want (especially if they're using TeachText now....;-)
