Seems like some people want to insist that the first Word, a
non-WYSIWYG program, was not Word.

Well, if you want to quibble, the quibbling contest is over that-away.


Are you incapable of READING?

"microsoft word and excel were on a mac long before they were on WINDOWS."

Do you see the WORD you're consistently MISSING?

Yes, and I think it's not especially relevant. Windows was just DOS with

it's very relevant.

I'll grant you that the WYSIWIG version was made for mac-os before it
was ported to DOS/Windows.
