Msg: Re: What was Sprint

The link below claims FinalWord (aka Sprint, eventually) was designed to emulate Perfect Writer (bundled with the Kaypro, no?), so it can't be all *that* old.... early 80s?

I myself date to the IBM Mag Card (early 70s, as a student), so am unimpressed....

Who writes the "History" section of an encyclopedia article without
mentioning a single DATE?! Grrrrr....

I started with XyWrite in 1985, so I'm wondering where FinalWord/Sprint
falls on my timeline. It sounds like it would have grabbed me had I
been aware of it.
