You can legally get and run WordPerfect for free
WordPerfect was a great word processor at its prime, that is, in the ms-dos days in the 80s and early 90s. I’d love to be able to use the dos version, the article describes the Mac version which I never used so it doesn’t trigger the nostalgia and technical awe factors (“wow they did all this in assembly in a 4-MHz IBM PC while these days word or google docs bring a fast modern pc to its knees”).If you’re into the whole retro nostalgia thing, “almost perfect” is a great read about the rise, success and fall of WordPerfect corporation.
