When I went to work for Xavier U of LA in 1983, they already had several
HP 125 systems in use and one of them became mine.  I remember Spellbinder
(which might be Word125), Visicalc and DbaseII!  Wordstar was available,
too, but I didn't use it. It was a pretty decent terminal, too.  I liked
it a lot better than the miniature 120 systems.  The 3.5 floppies were
fast, too, relative to the 5.25 drives on other systems!
