“what happens when evil takes over the electronics?”
I remember when that happened. When Gates introduced demonic MS Word to exterminate WordPerfect. (Am I kidding? Maybe. 😉 )
LOL... Or when Gates moved us from 8 bit CPM to 16 bit DOS systems.
I got a degree in computer science on main frames back in the 1970’s. Did COBOL and Assembler programming on 80 column punched cards. IBM drug their feet on introducing the desktop, so I purchased a Zenith Dual Processor desktop in 1982. I switched my focus in the late 1980’s and hired employees to do my computer work. It changed so fast that I became a dinosaur.
Word perfect was always the better product. Still have a copy of v9 I believe was last version along with Borland paradox for a db program - again better than MS access ever hoped to be. Lotus vs excel though, ok I will give the advantage to excel along with power point over Harvard graphics. If Corel had Microsoft’s marketing ability, we might still have WP and the two products trying to one-up each other every year.
I loved WordPerfect.
I have to tolerate MS Word and use LibreOffice more.
