I just got really used to WordPerfect 6.1 (its from 1996, but runs in either Win3.1 or Win95) since I've been using it since 6th or 7th grade... I had to use Word 2000 (the version that came with my computer... if I had the choice, I wouldn't have gotten it but that wasn't an option... :( ) for a month or two last year before I got Wordperfect 6 installed. I didn't like it any more than I ever have... that is, very very little. I'm just so used to Wordperfect and its interface... and the things that Word doesn't seem to have... I don't know. I never got fully used to Word. I don't think I want to try to... as far as I've seen, Word still hasn't caught up to Wordperfect from 1996 (well, except long filename support and underlining misspelled words, but newer versions of wordperfect have that stuff too).
Yes, so I still use a word processor that requires 8-letter filenames... its a little annoying, but not enough to make me use the (IMO) far inferior Word. I wish I could get a new version of Wordperfect, but word processors are so expensive that I don't see that as a sane use of money while I have a word processor that works just fine... even though its way cheaper than Word, Wordperfect still costs a lot...
