This has been known by GRRM fans for quite some time. It's funny what bits of trivia become relevant again as the show finds new audiences.

The reality is, of course, that WordStar doesn't do anything special that there's not a modern replacement for. With the wide variety of software out there available to write documents, I'm sure that there's something that would word as well or better.

But the thing is, GRRM isn't interested in finding a replacement. He knows what works for him. And that's fine.




Also I guess we would want him to write instead of spending his time getting used to other tools.
