Thinking of Atari Writer

AtariWriter is like a time machine

My first job doing computer work was for my Mom, who worked at a doctors office. They didn't have the means to easily send out dunning letters, so she recruited me to use AtariWriter to do a mass mailing of dunning letters with addresses and names.

AtariWriter was totally cool, you could spell check, mail merge and the file didn't disappear when you turned off the computer, if you remembered to save the file.

This weekend I had some LLMs generate the whole thing, including a bunch of cool accessory features to try to make it useful.

I will probably have to do a lot of manual tweaking to find the right mix of retro and modern usability.
