"Well those crazy fools over at Every have decided to commission a regular, long-form tech history column from me. 

Which gives me a legit excuse to spend time trawling through old PC magazines.

So brace yourselves for lots of pics of old adverts on here. Like the time Microsoft introduced 'undo'"

  "microsoft ad for word, which says: New Microsoft Word. It makes your IBM Personal Computer think it's better than a $10,000 word processor.
  
  With Microsoft Word, what you see on the screen is what you get on the paper. So it's easy to spot mistakes. Boldface, underline and italics look like this [note: the words are styled as indicated], not this [shows symbols normally used until then to flag style changes]. And when you make changes, paragraphs are automatically reformatted. Flush right, flush left, centred or justified. It even gives you several columns on a page, like a newspaper.
  
  Word forgives and doesn't forget. There's an 'uh-oh' command called Undo. Make a mistake? Or just want to experiment? Hit Undo."
