New One for Ashton: "I use WordStar"
http://www.bbc.com/n...chnology-27407502

He said: "I actually have two computers. I have the computer that I browse the internet with, that I get my email on and I do my taxes on. Then I have my writing computer, which is a DOS machine not connected to the internet. Remember DOS? I use WordStar 4.0 as my word-processing system."


Guess who?

:-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New Wow
Still remember the WS diamond on CPM
New GMTA!

He called it the "Duesenberg of word-processing software (very old, but unsurpassed)", referring to the long-since dead American car manufacturer.



[Ettore Bugatti is dead, too.]

Thanks. Nice.
Couldn't have said it better. {cackle.. cackle..}
Rodents.. have nothing useful to do, in stream-of-consciousness writing: where you want-not to screw things up by switching brain hemispheres-->into {Yawn} pedestrian mechanical deductions.

Guess I could send Print-ready text from Otrona via serial port.But then, real writers (not of Corp-grade boilerplate 'documents')
can do OK with mere TextEdit.. I'll let my L33t WS-codes just evanesce..
New I hate Microsoft Word (at least) as much as the next guy, but...
...but even I know that simply checking a box in the Tools / Options dialogue switches off the check-as-you-type behaviour. So if that was his only reason, he's misguided.

Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi

(Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)

I tried it. Little sweet explosions with disgusting texture. It was awful.
