Fucken idiots.  Do you expect every lowly telephone representative in a
large company to know the status of something as obscure as WordPerfect
for the Apple ][?  As Nathan would say (in his overly-annoying fashion),
GET A CLUE!   The service rep in the above paragraph probably knew
absoultely nothing about the Apple ][, let alone what the Apple ][ was.

Here's some advice for you would-be naysayers in the future:  try checking
your facts BEFORE you make up your mind.  You see, if you make up your
mind before you gather evidence to support your opinion, no evidence 
contrary to your opinion will sway it.  In other words, you'll stubbornly
hang on to your ill-conceived conclusions out of your own silly arrogance.
You don't want to be a silly jack-ass, do you?
