Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I remember installing a very sophisticated office system running under Xenix back in the mid 80's on cloned 486's having "huge" 40 Mg hard disks. It cost a quarter of the inferior Windows + IBM set up. Ah, sweet days and all done without formal training.

Star Office :
@FearlessFly the name rings a bell but this was a specialised industry program written here in Australia by a local professor.
@FearlessFly Open Office (Libre) I've been privately using on Windows since they came came out. I even have it on my phone though it is only there out of curiosity as everything is email these days & I no longer have need for WP, spreadsheets or database. My go to writing app is Writer+ or the email program. Why complicate life when you can keep it simple - sadly a philosophy that Gates failed to understand. IMO 90% of networked and internet connected computers don't need to be.
Thanks for the history lesson, informative and engaging.
