Word Perfect!!! I'm almost positive that was the editor they taught me in the early 1990s in grammar school! (We called it grammar school back then, for it was the 1800s.) And yet I had never seen or used it since. This brings back so many memories. I was sitting next to a girl named Dana, the only Dana I ever met.

When I first read the Hitchhiker’s Guide, I thought “Ford Prefect” was a pun on “Word Perfect”, not knowing anything about the car model at the time.
