Hey! I've got a 1984 NEC Starlett laptop with wordstar in ROM. No floppy
drives! Built in 300 baud modem, 32k ram.  The keyboard is really nice.
Someone probably paid $3k-$5k for this thing new. I would have to refer
to the manuals for all the 2 key commands to actually _use_ wordstar. I
had a disk with visicalc a long time ago. But the 8" floppy drive is
long dead!
