A newly released product with a 23 year old advert? Must be a first ;)
Will we see the Lisa iPod soon?
IBM shoulld offer store credit to anyone who bought the original Lotus Symphony for $495 now that the price has been reduced to zero. And what could they buy with this store credit? How about some of the excellent tunes at the IBM music store. Those old IBMers could really rock ;-)
I love the media on which the software was delivered; do they still use the same floppy disks?
That's right Jan-Piet, the new Lotus Symphony optionally ships on 750 5.25" floppy disks ;-)
@Bob: ROFLMAO
@Bob, Symphony was free once before, so this isn't new pricing :-) It was once shipped free on PCMag in the UK.
While we're on the subject of Symphony, how about putting those old Symphony .WRK and .WR1 file formats, not to mention 1-2-3's .WKS and its successors, forward to the ISO for ratification as a standard?
Hey, perhaps the new Symphony could even read all those old .WR1 files I have on 5.24" floppies in the attic and save them for me as ODF.
Or is this just too much digital rot?
"I love the media on which the software was delivered; do they still use the same floppy disks?"
This is IBM: Those floppy disks are used to store the URL to the download!
