I remember using Microsoft Works 2.0 for DOS on my Tandy notebook PC for
notetaking in college in the early 90's. It was cheap, and it ran off a
single floppy (which, considering my notebook had no hard disk, was a good
thing).
And now I sit here and look at the ThinkPad sitting on my desk next to me
and the iBook that's on its way; my, how the times have changed. :-)
