Kagi Translate Feedback: Page 40 - Kagi Feedback We launched . We'd love your feedback!

Pro Kagi Translate:
Man kann dort jetzt auch #WordStar-Dokumente übersetzen lassen.

Contra Kagi Translate:
Wenn man das tut, steht im übersetzten Text der KI-Prompt, der im Hintergrund ausgeführt wurde.

My search for the perfect writing software (for now) Writers, whether with a pen or a keyboard, can be creatures of habit. The paper, the pen, the chair, the corner of a room—all matter. For me, it's always been the software. Over the years, I've tried ...

Consider asking your network of friends/family for an old laptop that is no longer being used. Have it cleaned out internally and linux installed with a program like wordstar.

Don't hook it to the web.
It should have usb ports so transfer files via thumbdrives.

Don't forget to update the file format of those old files. Might even be a good idea to read and review what's on them. I started transcribing documents on #wordstar back in the day. #genealogy

Some 40 year old software to help celebrate #DOScember 💾

The disks came with the #SperryPC that was my first computer.

I earned a lot upgrading hardware and running software on that beast. #MS-DOS #Multiplan #Wordstar #BASIC
