They all have add, they don't always have the push button case though

 

Holy Hannah this takes me back! Dad used wordperfect and coreldraw exclusively on his computers when we went from windows 3.1 to 95. I remember how cool i thought it was to have all style tags, made me feel like a haxx0r

 

Remember the WordPerfect plastic template that fit over the function keys? I had those memorized. You could produce documentation up a storm without ever having to take your hands off the keyboard. It was commercial level productivity.

 

There is something nice about software that wasn't intended to have wide appeal and rewards you for taking the time to get to know it. Seems like a lost cause in office these days - it changes too much

 

Here's a bit of desktop publishing history. Ventura was the 1st popular desktop publishing program for the IBM PC. I think some of it came out of the Xerox PARC labs. Encyclopedia Britannica used it to publish the full paper bound book version. Most of the O'Reilly series and Oracle Press computer books were published using it.

 

4.77 MHz. I bet they spent a lot of time optimizing their code.

I wonder how long it took to render output for an encyclopedia.

 

A little over a foot at my house this morning, @Tour991 how is it up the mountain?

 

We got over a foot but it is wind blown. Mt Rose is closed so everyone in Incline Village is here.

 

Good thing I run the slug for 10 min every morning out of habit

 

People still get cheese wiz on sandwiches? That shit is nasty

I remember a kid back in elementary school would bring a can of it every day and just eat it straight during recess/lunch. He's probably dead now

 

Contemplating going/not going to SJ; when it rains people get stupid on the road

 

I remember driving over the Santa Cruz mountains via the 17 when it was raining once...I consider myself a good driver but I thought for sure we were fucked. That highway is dangerous as is on a normal day let alone when it's pouring, people driving like maniacs and shit

 

I've seen it offered on pizza....

 

That road is crazy in the summer with all the Motorcycles. We went through there a few years back in October it was bumper to bumper traffic with people trying to get Pumpkins....

 

That's horrid

 

Really makes you appreciate pineapple on pizza now, don't it?

 

Buddy I'm already in your corner! Pineapple is hands down my favorite pizza topping

 

Good man!
