Eventually Wordperfect lost out in the market to superior products.
Time will tell if this happens to the Skycatcher.


It was purchased and destroyed. Notice how much Microsoft Word looked like
old Wordperfect? Sorta like how Excel looked a lot like the early Windows
versions of Lotus 1-2-3. Buy 'em, make an "update" that turns to product
to total crap and then sell your conspicuously-identical version that
actually works.

Who would do a thing like that?

What I remember about Wordperfect was it had no menus. Everything was
based on keyboard commands. There were competing products with much
better user interfaces, but they didn't have the support that
Wordperfect had. Lots of people bought the inferior product because
of the support. I suspect that's what may happen with the Skycatcher.
