you must be very young

When WordPerfect and other programs back in the mid-1980s introduced wizzywig or whatever, it had NOTHING at all to do with drop and drag. That obviously didn't exist. I doubt if anyone in the world had even heard of the term, except maybe someone at Apple. Could be. But this is what distinguished WordPerfect, say, from Wordstar, the premier word-processor at the time. Made WP the #1 processor overnight.... Hayford Peirce 04:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
