More than ten years later in school I've worked for the first time with stuff like that

WordPerfect was the new kid on the block when I was using WordStar! No one could dethrone WordStar! We did all formatting on screen just like formatting a page in HTML. But we did have keyboard shortcuts to insert common codes. Oh well, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Word Star! That was the one that I liked. It has been a while.

But of course, there was no way the cpm operating system would ever be dethroned either

That was before dos.

Shorthand and Longhand Macros were king in WordStar!

Wow... Blue Screen of Death has really changed meanings...

Wow, someone with older memories than me....

....thank you Lord !!

PS: Someone destroyed WordStar and Word Perfect = M$ did when they made the OS not compatible with a lot of old software. It is all a game to software producers, a very sad one for consumers, thank God Apple and Google are strong today or M$ would have ruined everything.

Well, I started out with clay tablets! Funny, you know how they always show someone reading a clay or stone tablet? I saw an archeologist once demonstrate his theory: He took a clay tablet, laid a papyrus on it, rubbed it with charcoal and walked away with a readable copy! Sure makes sense to me!

 

[AnthonyCea]

LOL, don't let the kids run you out of here man !!

Do you remember 4" wafers? Remember the 8048? Or even the 8080?

No, but I remember when Texas Instruments came out with the innovation of the calculator in the early 70's Dean.

Ah the good old USA and our brilliant inventors...

...don't tell the Brits they need us lest they get mad folks...

 

[Dean]

heh... how about the one that pre-dates that calculator? They had that there too, I believe it used some of the first Intel chips.. (otherwise it would not have been there).

I have an adding machine that works well, you just have to know how to use them.

A scientific calculator is way too complicated for me to figure out, I guess you need to be a mathematics expert to use a lot of this stuff.
