    The last release was in 2002. It’s not limited to Gen X. As an older millennial, I leaned Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Word Pro before I was introduced to Microsoft’s Suite.

        I miss Wordperfect, although I don’t miss the templates everyone had on their keyboards.

        I mostly wish Word had “show codes.”

      Right but we don’t age things from it’s last release do we!

      First released in 83 when I was 9 and I played with my ZX81.

          Well then, Thanks for sharing! I moved on from a ZX81 to a BBC Master (128k+dbl sided 40/80T dual disk drive) and then to a Falcon 030 in late '92. Games sounded sooo much better on the Falcon 030

            That hardware is so fascinating (in hindsight): I love that it had a hardware jpeg decoder. Fun times.

      As a younger Gen-Xer, we were still using Lotus Notes for logging calls when I worked at Dell Tech support in 98-99. It sucked.

        Hahahahaha.

        I was still using Notes in 2013. Most functions had moved on, but for the government department that I was working for at the time it was essential for IM, group mailboxes, and… a specific type of diplomatic communication.
