Old line executives don't seem to understand the finer points of the digital economy.

That book cover yew see under my name to the left... I wrote most of it on WordStar using a Kaypro 4/84 CP/M computer. The book went on to win a literary achievement award and it got me on Oprah.
But that a was a while ago, back when I couldn't afford anything decent. Still, if nothing else it proves that WordStar was a capable processor. The way they programmed overlays to fit the entire program into 64K was nothing short of brilliant.
