Welcome to Wordmark Systems

Wordmark Systems is a small private company devoted to creating interesting software and software like intellectual property (IP). Charles Marslett and his wife Cindy established Wordmark Systems in 1982. Since then Wordmark has implemented firmware and software for Atari and x86 computers. Some of this software has become "abandonware" -- software no longer actively marketed -- and as the copyright owner, Wordmark, has made it available on this web site without any commitment of support. We also have a few other links you might find useful.

First, a question about Americans: are they really that stupid?

Recently the media in the United States stirred up a fair sized storm over a comment that General Wesley Clark made July 29, 2008. The statement he has been quoted as saying is "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."

I ask you, is that really the most important job requirement when you interview someone for the position of President of the United States? For that matter, would it matter very much even if you were interviewing him for a job as night manager at the Quick-E-Mart?

Or do you agree with General Clark? I've always liked General Clark, and once again I find him a lot more honest and "presidential" than John McCain. Unfortunately, both for Americans as a whole and for me personally, there are a lot more Americans are convinced John McCain is a better choice for president than Wesley Clark.

Oh well, back to your regularly scheduled programming....
