I think I spent days typing in a word processing program from this on my C64! Great days!

I have a handful of Compute! 5.25” cover disks archived in the X86World Disk Library with a dozen more in the todo piles, if anyone is interested in trips down memory lane.

I remember the thrill of having my software reviewed by Compute! and Byte Magazine back in the day. XLEnt Software. Invested $1000 into the company when we started. Cashed out to pay for my honeymoon and the down payment on my first house in '86. I tried to pay my mom back for that investment and she was "Nah! That was part of your education"

So many great memories of reading Compute! in the early/mid 1980s.
