So it really is a huge word processor...  : (

I'm going to write a few messages on usenet about needing a 
DisplayWriter for time traveling and then sell it on e-bay.  ; )

How common are these things?  Are they valuable beyond $15-$20?  I 
had to pay $15 or $20, I can't remember, because that's how much it 
was worth to the computer killing company.  Could have walked out 
with a pallet of laptops for that price.  ; )
