And now after a wait of tour years word Star has finally been overhauled four years longer than it took the United slates to recover from Peart Harbor to win world War ii longer than it took Mozart to go from the womb to his first symphony twice As Long As the Ges Lalion period of an elephant. This Long awaited new version is called 4.0. But despite the name it does t quite get a perfect Grade for anyone who wanted to do serious word processing in the Early Days of personal computing word Star was the Only real Choice. It was difficult to learn Clumsy to use and maddeningly slow but Many people bought it about 2 million at last count.
