To be fair, we used Dos based WordPerfect back then...but the point stands.

I so miss Wordperfect!

That's so 2002.

You and me both. It gives the user so much more control...easily.

To address the secretary question above...

The truth of how we draft motions and briefs these days is that we seldomly dictate anymore. I had a cassette dictation machine until I joined my current firm in 2015, but I only used it for letters and deposition summaries. I have tried voice recognition....I find that more frustrating than typing.

For motions and briefs, I found it easier to just type out the body myself on the computer. I can't think any faster than than I can type, so it's just easier. Plus, when dictating, going back and adding things or doing things like quotes are a pain, but easy with a word processor. The secretary adds the proper formatting, caption and the other things the court requires, gives it a lookover for typos and gets it filed. You go from 5 or 6 drafts to 2 or 3. We now have 1 secretary to every 2 or 3 attorneys.

And just in case anyone is interested:

They credit Dorie Miller with shooting down "several" Japanese planes. This is very impressive. The Japanese only lost 29 in the attack.

It's probably not good that Cuba is shooting up the other US ships at Pearl Harbor.

Right - he seemed to be lighting up all the good guys.

He's just like Alec Baldwin.

I don't know about Dorie Miller specifically, but in the utter panic following the complete surprise....that kind of thing happened.

Maybe if you got rid of that speech impediment...

I miss DOS

 

[HoughMade]

Maybe if you got rid of that speech impediment...

...and this is why I still need a secretary.

I miss DOS

I guess it was about 15 years ago I installed DOS on a modern computer of that time. Not using a DOS emulator but real DOS. Some things just screamed they were so fast. Probably since it wasn't handicapped like windows with so much pretty screen embellishment.
