Heh...I remember using a Wang word processor before I started using WordStar. At some point I'm sure I used MS Word at work, but at home, I used a copy of Word 97 that I bought on Ebay for a couple of years, before tossing it in favor of OpenOffice a few years ago.

We had one of those Wang word processors before WordStar (on a non-networked shared PC) as well. But it was only at the office secratary's desk. In the beginning, she'd type work for me. Then she turned nazi on all but the Director and made me type my own work on the Wang when she wasn't at her desk.
Then I got my Novell networked 8088 XT PC with a monochrome monitor! WordPerfect 4.something and Pegasus department email.
All was well with the world!! That is until I talked the boss into budgeting for PROFS emulator boards and we all got on the company email!!!!!!!!!
On the sly I talked the IT guy into dropping an extra data line in my office so I could log onto early 1990s vintage AOL with a 2400 baud modem.
Did I mention that cool Ricoh dot matrix printer that we had? ;-)
