Word processor advert

A.B. Dick was a competitor in the word processor space around 1980, and I recall Wang produced a humorous advert in the trade press at the time with the tagline, "Stop fiddling with your Dick, come and play with our Wang". (I worked for GEC who owned A.B. Dick at the time - we thought it was very funny even though it was by a competitor.) I would love to find a copy of that advert, but Google turns up nothing - this was well before the Internet age. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.28.170 (talk) 10:02, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dates, please

"IBM Compatible WANG PCs" section needs dates. In what year did each of these releases happen? The entire page could benefit from more clarity about timing, but this section especially needs to have events tied to years. KC 18:41, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
