WordPerfect 5.1 was truly great; perhaps my favorite piece of software
ever.

ah... the forces in power always want to be in control.
They stopped Tesla too...
If we had used discoveries Tesla had made 100 years ago we would
have limitless free wireless power and instantaneous transmission of
limitless amounts of information.
You read the above correctly. All this was and is possible.
Want more info? post and we will talk.....

Errm... might it just have something to do with WP5.1 being a DOS
program, and WFW being Windows-based? I'm wondering, on an apples vs.
apples and oranges vs. oranges basis, how Word for DOS compared with
WP5.1, and how Word for Windows compared with WP 6.0+. I know that
WordPerfect's venture into windows produced attrocious results, but an
appropriate comparison of relative installation sizes would be
interesting.

What program is that? Many of us use Stedman's electronic dictionary
which interfaces with WP 5.1. I believe there are others as well.

It wasn't a comparison. It was the best word processor at the time
vs. a piece of junk put out by the Gatesians.
Even today some of the things that were trivial in WP5.1 are almost
impossibly complex in Word. WP was written with the user in mind,
Word is written with dollar signs in mind.

A med. transciptionist named Su (last name has changed since then)
submitted a medical terms dictionary to the WP people around 1990 and
they made it available - free, IIRC. Last I heard she was
occasionally seen in some of the mt newsgroups, but that was over 7
years ago.

Maybe John Jay got motivated by the great Game, Serbia (and Crna Gora)
had played with Argentinia. 0:6 ;-)
The Goalkeeper was under rules, Tesla described as magnetic
apparitions. Or he was just trained as a ballet dancer, and it just
looked like he would have been fostered by unseen forces.

There are revenue streams and profits to protect doncha know!
His life story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla
Quite a man but also described as a mad scientist apparently, although
that might have been spread by opponents with vested interests.
It has always been thus, especially in the world of high technology
inventions methinks.

John Jay Smith
No he was not mad.. he was just ahead of his times... so much that
when he talked of global networks, communications from mars to earth,
audio and video text transmitted anywhere on the planet instantly,
remote controlled machines, particle beams as defense weapons...
they looked at him like he was crazy. For the people then,
these things seemed outlandish and impossible and Crazy!!! lol
Now we know that all of the above already EXIST and
are not some crazy inventors wacky dreams.
He not only dreamed about them, but he could do them then....
and some of the ways he thought about doing them are better
that we use today.
I am a super fan fan of tesla.. I have studied his life and his work,
and in my opinion he is the greatest genius that ever lived.

It's a shame that the legacy of such a brilliant man has been so
thoroughly co-opted by kooks obsessed with zero-point energy &c.

I know what you're saying. A major problem for anybody who can see
beyond the trees is that they're always ridiculed and dismissed as mad
or obsessive or whatever. Few people appreciate their abilities and
they often have to walk through life at other peoples' pace. FWIW
this is a problem I've encountered in my own life - although not on
technology matters! I'm afraid that in this age - dorks rool!

I am learning how to overcome such problems...
education CAN teach you how to do things better....
and there are ways to do it... I can assure you..
Tesla made some mistakes because he didnt know some things.
He was a genious in some things, but he was not a people person,
nor a buisnessman. He could of then, be one of the riches men in the world,
so he would be independant, and not relay on idiots like J.P. Morgan to
invest.
