On his use of Wordstar 4.0 to word-process his books:
"I actually like it, it does everything I want a word processing program to do and it doesn't do anything else," Martin said. "I don't want any help. I hate some of these modern systems where you type a lower case letter and it becomes a capital letter. I don't want a capital. If I wanted a capital, I would have typed a capital. I know how to work the shift key."
I think I'm mostly with him on this.

I never liked WordStar but in pre-Windows days I was quite fond of WordPerfect.
He is right about the bells and whistles of modern things like Word. They are just distractions.
I'd rather not go back to a typewriter and Tipp-Ex though.
