I love HN for this kind of serendipity.
I used Apple Writer in on Apple II machines in my public library in the 80s. I can't say I remember a ton about it but it's definitely a name I remember. I remember using AppleWorks on the machines at school, but I liked Apple Writer better and lamented that I wasn't permitted to use it at school (because the teacher said she wasn't familiar with it and couldn't help me if I had problems).
- lutusp 3mo agoAbout Apple Works ... Apple paid me massive royalties for Apple Writer but got tired of that arrangement pretty quickly. So they made an outright-sale deal with the Apple Works guy. Then the Apple Works guy refused to answer after-release bug reports unless he got ... wait for it ... royalties. Long time ago. Still pretty funny.
