I was a heavy user of WordPro....turned out my Algebra tests on it.....still have a copy around.....

i used an old word processor package called Professional Write because it was an idiot's word processor, and i didn't have a lot of time to learn new programmes.

BTW, i started out on a DEC PDP-8 in 1972. We still had the old card readers that one would punch out much the same as a Florida Ballot (without the chad problems). The yellow paper punch tape was a way to enter programmes into the teletype terminal. Learned BASIC on that machine. If the line voltage dropped below 117VAC, the system would crash.
