  1. Also every single teacher was required to tell you that WordPerfect was better. Many teachers I had would teach that it had essentially a markdown view called ‘Reveal Codes’. It would let you exactly control and see the formatting of the document. It totally addressed the issues in Word of mucking up a document the moment you drop in an image.

    Word afaik still doesn’t truly have such an ergonomic view. WordPerfect still maintains a niche in Legal and Education/Academia use because of the entrenched use of these formatting features.

  5. ~please no one tell corel~ I did buy it for $3

    growing up in ontario in the 90s, I was taught WordPerfect and QuattroPro.

    in elementary school my ‘dog ate my homework’ was that I’d bring my file on a diskette w/ a .doc from Word from home and be like ‘OoOooOppssss I can’t print it I’ll have to bring it tomorrow as RTF’ (and then actually do the book report) – I am no longer this lame we can blame the cloud now.

  9. Hey fedi nerds! I need a hand from retro software fans. I'm searching for an activate copy of Internet Space Builder of the extinguished Parallel Graphics. On archive there's only a demo of the 2.0 ver. The final one is 3.01

  19. 🐧🔧 Oh boy, another #Linux #enthusiast discovers that software written a mere 20 years ago isn't perfect, 👴 like X from the Jurassic period. The revelation? #DBus is a "disgrace" but should totally infest more apps because, you know, why not spread the #chaos. 🙄🚂
