  That's interesting, I didn't know he was nerdy in "that way". I wonder what his thinking behind it is.

    Maybe he started writing in it and never stopped!

    He's used to it and it's distraction free.

    He cited autocorrect / spellcheck as his main gripe against modern systems [0], though I’m sure some of it is also just habit. [0] https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27407502 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27407502

  Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to quickly scroll backwards and forwards and jump to sections in Word Star to review his old stories, and so he is unable to tie up all the story lines and bring the work to a conclusion. Hence, he is forced to always keep writing more and more new story lines.
