W is for Wordworth, a good word processor from Softwood.

vodley · 20 March 2008, 20:30

V is for Value. The Amiga was known for price-performance, out-competing offerings from other computing platforms.

Graham Humphrey · 20 March 2008, 20:33

What happened to V? Or is it just a bit difficult to come up with anything

And I thought Wordworth was from Digita not Softwood, but never mind

vodley · 20 March 2008, 20:50

X is for XYZ vertices. You enter integers for these to create perspective-move effects in Deluxe Paint 3 and higher.
