I certainly remember the Vydec word processor by Exxon with the huge 8" floppies. You had to save each page of a document separately. No multiple page documents. It looked like an airline cockpit with a huge panel of buttons and lights on it. It's the very first word processor I ever worked on and learned word processing on. After that, I changed jobs and had to learn Wang word processing and I thought that was the ultimate machine, so much so, I wished I had one at home. From there, I moved to standard PC that didn't even have Windows yet, still on DOS WordPerfect. What a pain. My office finally upgraded to Windows. Heck, at the office I'm in now, we're still on Windows 98, with Win 2000 Office Suite. Melanie
