> I couldn't imagine anyone waxing nostalgic for the UX of an old word processor app.

This is a very strange sentiment in general, since word processors are pretty much the only retro software that's worth keeping and using today - professional writers often hang onto them. It's especially strange to hear in a place where people routinely use fifty year old text editors.

You made me go and search for for my first-ever favourite word processor. It turns out that Wordworth v7 is available for download via the Internet Archive[1]. Apparently there was a v7.1 release back in 2008[2] but I can't locate a download of it - not even on Aminet![3]

Next, I need an Amiga emulator that runs on a MacBook Pro ...

Neat!

And slightly amazing they did a release as recently as 2008.
