First WP software I used was WordPerfect - the name tells a lie, it was an absolute nightmare to use compared with Word, when Word arrived I switched in a heartbeat! I also used Lotus WordPro, not as good as Word in some ways but had advantages in others - like allowing me to define a custom envelope size before Microsoft acknowledged sizes other than American. Sill use it for some purposes - you can tell it was well-written software when it was created in 1997 and still works on Windows 7.

Far better than what any IBM compatible PC had to offer, at least in the early days. In the end, I had an A3000T with a 50 MHz 68060 accelerator board. The absolutely brilliant Shapeshifter (some sort of Parallels to make Mac OS run on an Amiga) made it the fastest 68060 Mac that Apple never built. Word Perfect as a word processor wasn't that bad either. Ralf -- Ralf R.
