DOS and Wordstar, way to live on technical edge. Real geeks use CP/M or Unix and use ed or VI!!
I liked Wordstar until I used Word. Wordperfect had to be one of the worst word processors around, anyone remember reveal codes and their macros?
I still go to the DOS session in Windows 7 and the various server versions. I was going through some old boxes and found a 1.44 version of DOS6.22 and DOS 5.0! Good times.
Dos 5.0 - I believe that was the last MS operating system that came with a real, comprehensive manual.
Everyone agrees that WordPerfect for Windows was the best word processor ever made. It sounds like you only used the pre-mouse dos version.
