I do much prefer word processing, but WordStar always seemed possessed
to me. Somewhere, some code would be wrong, and I'd spend hours trying
to get a paragraph out of italics or 4 pt font or something.
Fortunately, WordPerfect had come out by the time I was in grad school,
and you could ALT F3 to see where the screwy codes were. Woohoo. ;)
