I take an interest in what people think is "before the internet", as people seem to have widely differing notions, but this is a novel twist to me.

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.

From #WordStar in MSDOS to #AmiPro to #MicrosoftWord to "iA Writer", my writing journey has been full of text editor apps. In the last two weeks, I’m enjoying #iAWriter in Windows for focused, distraction-free writing. Here’s my experience:

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

#WordStar was my first word processor back in 1981. Now, 30 years after its last update, it’s making something of a comeback.
If you've been exploring #WordStar since author Robert J Sawyer's packaging of WordStar for #DOS, you may need to convert your new WordStar files to another format afterwards.
Here's a program to convert WordStar to HTML:
