Ancient stuff

I caused a certain dramatic uproar in the office this morning. As usual, Vincent came out to talk talk. This IT guy came by to let him see a proposal, and then he asked me if I'm good with excel and word. So of course I'm like, oh I'm ok with it. Vincent chided the guy with a "which grad doesn't know?! Even o level graduates know!!" and somewhat the topic turned into the earliest technology i.e. phones and computers. So YP, Vincent and IT guy were reminiscing about how the first technology was surprising and after that outdated. So IT guy was talking about MS Word.

IT guy: I've been using MS Word since like, forever. But before MS Word the WordPerfect was .....

IT guy looks at me: You DO know what's WordPerfect right?

Me: What is it?

Very innocently ok.

LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH. Apart from laughing, Vincent's only response was: That was a good one!

I suddenly feel so much younger. Haven't felt this way in ages ever since I met the temps -.-

Esp when.. WordPerfect, as I googled, came out in 1980. =.=

And guess what? I'm gonna be attached to the IT guy for work because he happens to be in charge of IPU from next tuesday onwards =.=! WordPerfect! =.=
