    One of the uses of notepad was also that it’s installed by default, and was a place you could be assured wouldn’t mess with your text. No formatting, no weird characters you didn’t ask for.

    Notepad++ is great, but you can’t be assured it’s installed on any arbitrary Windows machine.

      Can’t you install Notepad++ to a thumb drive and run it by just plugging it into a Windows box? As a bonus, you can save Ann your text files to the thumbprint so they’re always right where you expect them.
