A DOS word processor... that reminded me of something I saw recently.
Hey hey 16K  http://www2.b3ta.com/heyhey16k/

Remember when 1K was considered a page of text?  Now I think my
documents have more formatting embedded than actual text.

I really love it when someone designs a web page in Word and expects
me to use it.  The first think I have to do is cut the crap out so
it's about half the size.
