Sometimes, you need the tool that's best suited to the job in hand. And for George R. R. Martin, that means using an archaic word processor—WordStar 4.0, running on DOS, no less—to write Game of Thrones. He explained why to Conan last night.

Well, if that's what makes you comfortable. But the reasons are still silly.

Lol he probably likes fixing at the "abyssal darkness of a DOS screen for inspiration
