Re: Wordstar

Once you lug your CP/M machine down the mountain through 10 feet of snow both ways, you could then fire up the boilers, print out your document using a 8 pin dot matrix (9 hadn't yet been invented), and finally run it through a modern OCR program and spellcheck the results.

Teasing aside, dude, you do know that after 30 years that the magnetic domains on the floppy disks may have weakened? If not, why not just use a null modem serial cable and just transfer the stuff to your normal computer that way?

Xmodem for the win!
