This made me smile. Back in 1991 I wrote my masters dissertation in 1st Word Plus runnng in GEM on an old 8086 PC. Being able to see fonts, bold/italic, etc. actually on the screen felt like seeing into the future. Given the limitations of the hardware back then it was pretty remarkable really.
- raarts 4y agoYour remark brought back memories. My wife studied precision engineering as one of few girls (5 out of 700) in vocational college in the late 80s. She wrote all assignments on 1st Word Plus on our Atari ST. And turned them in printed on a dot matrix printer. At a time when everyone else of course was using pen and paper. Needless to say she got lots of respect. Not only for this reason but that's for another post I guess.
