Oldie but Goldie: The 1992 Microsoft Word 5.0 Doesn’t Know the Term “Internet”

Microsoft will soon launch the new Office 2013, the one that will come with a subscription program and plenty of advanced goodies, but only a few of us actually remember the first iterations of the Office suite.

How many of you know Microsoft Word 5.0? It was a terrific product, although it now seems that some of the built-in tools could hardly peek into the future.
