Just a quick note:
Word Perfect predates Microsoft Word,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPerfect
And Lotus 1-2-3 predates Microsoft Excel,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_1-2-3
Compare the release dates of MS Word, and Excel:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Word
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel
I knew several people that switched from these to Microsoft Office when their jobs switched over to Windows and MS Office.
I used Word Perfect also, actually worked on my Tandy 1000 RL.
Also of note is GeoWorks, We had a 386 SX/25 that originally came with Geoworks Ensemble,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(...erating_system)
There were things I could do in Geoworks, that I couldn't do in Win95 years later.
Still have the disk in storage... I really need to go dig them out.
Just a bit of info.
Have a good one gents...
