• Macintosh Software
  My favorite word processor application of all time is Microsoft Word 5.1 for the Macintosh.  It works even on an old Mac Plus running at 7 megahertz. If you can find it downloadable anywhere, it might be here. I don't know. FYI, the mouse pointer is so much more stable and precise in the Macintosh interface. Fonts are also more stable on the screen than in Windows. I work with large documents, with small fonts in the footnotes, and Greek and Hebrew fonts. There is just no comparison in the quality and readability on the screen. The Macintosh interface wins in this regard hands down. That's one of the reasons Macintosh will never die.
