“Word” Turns 25…

It is hard to miss the current 80’s revival; every time I walk down Pitt Street Mall I have a flashback to 1986.  However the 80’s weren’t just about pastels, synthesisers and the end of the Cold War.  In October this year Microsoft will celebrate the 25^th anniversary of Word Version One.
