For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to build a word processor on Mac OS X because I it was the only thing I could think of more difficult to sell than ice to Eskimos. Anyway, I created Okito Composer while traveling in Europe, then I moved to San Diego and sold Okito to Nisus Software.
