На некоторые вопросы ответить проще, чем на другие.Много лет назад - больше, чем мне хотелось бы признать - в те времена, когда программное обеспечение устанавливалось с компакт-дисков, а для выхода в интернет нужно было ждать, пока модем дозвонится по телефонной линии, мы писали тексты с помощью текстовых процессоров.Именно так Microsoft Word получил свое название: буквально версия текстового процессора от Microsoft. А до Word были терминальные редакторы вроде WordStar - которым,... Read more ›

Now, almost half a century later, my mom finally has some merchandise to commemorate it. The... Read more ›
