Re wordprocessors....Don't forget, Gates didn't even start Microsoft until the late 70's...They only had 35 employees by 1981....I worked with them as a recruiter.... The wealthy business'es didn't have any sort of word processor/computer until the mid 1980's...heck, we were just trying to figure out what a main frame and a minimain frame were....More businesses were starting to get word processors by 1987 or so....and more by 1989... Most small business'es still had the Selectric I or II, and some even had the IBM Daisy Wheelwriter.

In 1980-81, we got the kids a Commodore 64.... then another...they took it to college to use as a fast typewriter....
