Yes, it's very good.

I wouldn't be so confident on that score.
Things have come a long way in the last twelve years only.
Many reference choices are also going to have to meet the challenge of
rapidly developing online sources, in which case, it's not going to
matter what you run as an OS.
This option certainly overcomes the obstacle of printed, and even on-CD,
works being out of date as soon as they're put out into the market place.

It might even be an idea for the Abiword project to mount their app. on
a server accessible to all, without stopping production of the end user
version for those of us that don't want to be pharmed, of course.

Is 'pharmed' in your dictionaries yet?
