"They put in a FREE word processor that ranked with the best of its
1984 competition. "

Wow, the reality distortion field was in full force for you. In no way
did MacWrite compare with commercial products for the PC. What good is
a word processor that works completely in memory and can only work on
documents of up to 10 pages.

When the NeXT shipped, it came bundled with WriteNow which had none of
these silly-ass limitations and is still an excellent product.
MacWrite wasn't bundled forever either. You remember 1984 but not 1988.
Strange.
