Word Handler II. Hockey soon. Paris calling off existence.

Brent Simmons pointed to (Green characters on black == bliss) one of my recent stories on emacs, talking about having a special place in our hearts for terminal-based text editors, thanks to our history with Apple II back in the day — it spawned a bit of an investigation as to which word processor it was that neither of us could remember. Turns out it was Word Handler II, which I tracked down thanks to recognizing its cover in an image attached to an eBay auction of old Apple stuff. I’m mirroring the image here:

In the bottom left, the leatheresque cover. :)

Now if only I could track down a screenshot….


Two more days till the hockey starts again.

Two more days.

Must contain excitement. ;)


What the headline says:

Paris No Longer With Paris, Calls Off Engagement

What I wish it said:

Paris No Longer Paris, Calls Off Existence.
