C64 and OmniWriter
I used my C64 and OmniWriter right through college to 1992. The 80-column
mode took a bit of imagination/squinting. After that, I had an Apple, but didn't
do Word Processing with it. Didn't really come back to Word Processing again
until 1996, with Word for Mac, which definitely felt different from OmniWriter.

I work with DTP solutions using Word for Windows now. IMO, Word works well,
but you have to use the right features for every job. There are 5 different ways
to accomplish different tasks, but this is a best way. Do it another way and you
can have a crashy mess on your hands.

Hmm -- diversity WITHIN Word. That's scary.
