OLD Software That You've Used In The Past

Does anyone use "Word Perfect" any more?
I used it for years, after I got rid of MS Word , but now I only use Libre Office.
Word Perfect was probably the first word processor that I ever heard of. I didn't even know that it was still around.

My first computer was a 7" netbook in 2009 - on XP - so there was no room for programs! Assume I used Word Pad, but can't remember. Going back further, had a shared Commodore 64 with a game called something like lawnmower man on it

I am still using WordPerfect. I started back in 1998, when it was owned by WordPerfect in Orem, Utah. I am currently using the last version released, 2021 WordPerfect Office Standard.

I just never did get to like MS Word or Excel. I prefer Quattro Pro.

I am just another old dinosaur!!

Have a great day.

Phil

I just turned 82 and seem to have lost the taste for chasing new or even old software.
Now writing a book, fiction but based on fact, and using LibreOffice Writer'
I had a Commodore 64 once, and after I re-wrote the OS, to make it faster and easier to use, and developed a Quiet Stop for the 1541 disk drive, I wound up in the Commodore Computer business. So much for a fun Hobby. I still have a C-64 and three monitors, but I'm afraid to even plug them in for fear of them blowing up in my face. So I still give them shelf space.

You might like this thread then :-) It would be great to hear your stories about it. A few of us have added our memories about Commodore computers.

I never had a Commodore 64. I think I was a bit too young.
I wonder why someone would buy one now.
