I'm gonna teach my future kids how to use a word processor, then they will know something no one else does.



I'm going to make sure they only use Word Perfect 5.1 without the help of the F-key stickers.


I was not trying to be sarcastic. If I manage to teach them how a word processor is supposed to be used, then and only then can we go over to the shell.


The shell is more fun than a word processor. Very few kids are going to be as motivated to learn how to produce complicated documents as are going to want to learn how to make their computer obey their every wish.
