In the early 90s my dad was trying to explain word processing to a young me. We had DOS on a 386 with Microsoft Works. He told me you could keep a journal. I started writing in all caps about my family and pets and school.
I still have the file, and have continued writing in it just once every few months. I love it. It's basically my life story.
Maybe I should write more. Glad to hear from this post that I'm not the only one who likes it.
