It Counts as an Upgrade
Jun. 17th, 2023 06:57 pmPutting together a post about some small accomplishment in a hobby-like pastime can seem to coincide with my specific interest in it wrapping up as I drift along to something else (even if I sometimes drift back after a while). Getting a second opinion of sorts on one of the very first word processors wasn’t quite the end of my use of the emulator of an equally antique computer I’d just got running, though. While the version of Electric Pencil for the SOL-20 to be found with the emulator could only save to virtual tape files, I knew that emulator could also be configured to use virtual disks and the early operating system CP/M. With that, though, came the flickering thought that just maybe I might also be able to get a sense of a slightly more advanced word processor from the past.
