Re: OT: In Praise of Dos-Based Word Processors

And I just missed it. Couldn't afford what a computer cost at that time, so I
skipped the Kaypro etc. generation. (8" floppies, right ? Just like our ICBM
silos are still using.) Kept on writing with an electric typewriter for a few more
years, finally getting on board with computers when Zenith came out with their
version of the XT. (That wasn't cheap either, in 1980s dollar terms.)

 I miss CP/M.

 I don't suppose anyone has done a CP/M emulator ? ? Not that
 I would ever go back - - XyWrite is a million times better.
 Oh, those awful italics in early Wordstar, where you always
 missed the turn-off code!
