  6. Do you ever get a #retrocomputing intrusive thought?

    This is #wordperfect 7 (ish, all from 1996 and 1997)

    * Native #solaris #unix version (bottom left)
    * Native 32bit windows in SunPCi (bottom right)
    * #macintosh system 7 in MAE (top left)
    * Windows 3.1 (16bit) in #wabi (top right)

    All of this was supported by at least one vendor at the time!

    And you can actually copy/paste between all of them, and it just works!

  7. I know it is silly, but sometimes I yearn to go back to #Corel #WordPerfect. I've used #LibreOffice since it forked from #OpenOffice, but WordPerfect still to this day can be purchased once and just used. It's the way professional software should be sold. Not to corpo-simp or anything, but still. Software developers gotta make money and that seems like the ethical way to do it, generally.

  12. @ibenb @CiaraNi So it goes, in one way or another. l loved #WordPerfect, but they simply got beaten by the worse competitor. I really adored the search program #Copernic where you could edit the result list, save it, update it, no ads. Enter google, and they were erased. Now I'm reducing #Proton back to the non-paying version (not leaving completely), and pumping up my volume at #posteo. I have installed #Linux (Mint) for the very first time in my quite long life, #micromizing. Never surrender, or whatever!

  17. Though I did have a lot of fun flirting with a crush at this job via the DOS-based #WordPerfect suite’s intraoffice email. The #CP437 character set’s proto-emoji smilies at 0x1 and 0x2 were super helpful for making clear our double-entendres.

  18. With “AI” infecting so much stuff, I’m glad I’ve stuck with #WordPerfect and #Eudora for the basics for work.

  19. Nach einem Sommerkurs #Basic bei der Migros Klubschule 1986, den ich als 11-Jähriger als Bedingung dafür besuchen musste, dass mir meine Eltern einen eigenen Homecomputer kauften, lernte ich ab 1988 im Informatik-Freikurs dank der Initiative meines Mathe-Lehrers am Gymnasium (damals noch 8 Jahre) neben #dBase und #WordPerfect auch #TurboPascal auf MS-DOS. Auch wenn ich kein Informatiker geworden bin, habe ich doch sehr davon profitiert.

  21. My #introduction 👋 to the fediverse.

    My name is John Jolly and I'm currently a graduate student at the #UofU in #SLC. I research #compiler optimizations on sparse tensor data layouts.

    I'm also an adjunct professor at #UVU. I teach OS theory and compilers.

    I worked for 10 years at #SUSE as a #linux kernel developer on #s390 and #hpc maintainer.

    Before that I worked 15 years for #wordperfect - #novell - #microfocus.

    I'm an amateur #astronomer and love #retro #arcade systems.
