[edit] Easy Rider

John Draper (aka Cap'n Crunch) wrote an word processor program called "TextWriter" after being sentenced for "Title 18, Section 1343: Fraud by wire" (phone phreaking). Woz gave him Apple II with printer to work with. Later this software was renamed "EasyWriter" after the movie "Easy Rider". [1] Talamus 20:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Significance

It would be nice if an old-timer can expand this article to assert the notability of this software, eg. by providing sales figures, or influences from and on other word processors, or quotes from some important bloke. ~ Jafet (spam) 14:14, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
