[![Screenshot of a Word Processor containg the words "Hello Fediverse" in WordArt](<?= $URL; ?>/media/images/creative_writer.webp)](<?= $URL; ?>/media/images/big/creative_writer.webp)

I got my very first word processor to run on Linux. [Creative Writer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Writer) released by Microsoft Kids in 1993.

It works great in wine. But I haven't managed to get the CD-ROM content working. Since harddisks of 1993 were very small, Creative Writer kept all clip-art and sounds on the CD-ROM.
