>As for software, I liked WordStar. It did everything I need to do as a word processor. The damn paper clip from Word bugs me to no end! ?Oh, you want to write a letter?? No ? go to HELL you damn paper clip!

It's not the assistant, that's easy to avoid during installation (once you learn what "assistant" means - persistent like an ass). It's the clipboard toolbar that pops up whenever I do more than a couple of copy/pastes between windows. There's no way I can find how to prevent it from showing. Does anyone have a clue, really?
