Osborne 1 was amazing. $1,795 bought you a portable computer and office suite software. It was a lot of computer for the time.

WordPerfect on IBM AT, checking in.

I used XyWrite thru HS and College until eventually switching to Word for Windows. I think I did one paper on WordPerfect on the schools PS2.
