This sentence made me think 'Why should I want to be a man of yesterday?'. Time goes on, all things change and we too. So I decided not to install WordPerfect anymore. It's a nice memory now!!
I do wonder about WP in light of OOo finally making it to 2.x. Still if you have an archive of old documents you can not translate directly then your stuck with interum formats like RTF or some such. Shame about WP though as I remember it was ahead of Word by decades.
