When I still used Windows, I liked WordPad and TextPad an awful lot. Depending on how I was writing. TextPad if I was writing in HTML (which I do automatically now - you wouldn't believe the time I have to spend fixing school papers) and WordPad if I wanted to format it right there.

I can't keep up typing, either, but it's faster than writing, at least. I think maybe we all just think too fast. The curse of the writer!
