It has begun!! I've managed to install some software on this old mac and get some things going! WordPerfect 3.5e is my first attempt and so far so good! I plan to use this as my "writing tool of choice". So far I've created a mini to-do list and opened up some existing text files - like the one shown here the "install log". I'm amazed at all the features this "old" word processor has. I'm inclined to think that for 95% plus of the people using a word processor, this decade plus old software would fit the bill just as well as today's would. I'm planning on comparing this with a new version of MS Word in a "vs" type article soon. Let the games begin...

I have some suggestion for you regarding this blog. I know a new effective and powerful program in converting PDF files for Mac. With WordPerfect viewer for mac, no need to change your file extension, simply drag and drop it in WPD Wizard. It makes reading WordPerfect documents enjoyable and exporting a snap.
