When buying WordPerfect in 1987 for my desktop PC whose only link to the surrounding world was a 2400 bps modem and a copper telephone wire, I don't remember having any feeling that the Wordperfect Corporation wanted to spy on me, sell my personal information, enshittify the software and fund global fascism.

Maybe there is a market for similar products today as well.

@mrundkvist @quixoticgeek Hmm - similar experience with Wordstar back in the day…
