WP5.1 was my first word processor, it came with my first PC. Blank color for bold letters and highlighted text for underlining it was enough for my b&w printer!!!
WP6.1 for DOS was also my first experience with WYSWYG software but way too powerful for my then-486. So I stayed with WP5.1 until Word 95. The funny part is that I feel I used more WP5.1 in those two years that the 4-year-old office 2007 I use at work now. Sorry for this OT but the post made me remember my early days with PC's!!!!
