- I remember Ability. It was a DOS program circa 1986. It's actually a
- teeny integrated package a la Symphony, with word processing, spreadsheet,
- DBMS, graphics, and maybe 1 or 2 other things. If my failing memory serves
- me, it even ran as a GUI (640x200 CGA mode).
-
- It dropped off the face of the earth. Migent was the company that made a
- fiery red Pocket Modem way back when..... I think they're out of business.
