That keeps getting redefined, over the years.

Early ones were little more than an electric typewriter on screen,
sometimes called an article editor.  Some people consider it a word
processor if you have basic editing features, others just call that a
text editor, and expect some sort of cross-referencing features as a
bare minimum (indexes, bibliographies, etc.).

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find everyone agreeing on what one
basically is, other than pointing at some highly featured one saying,
that's a word processor.

I'd just like to say that vinyl record crackles and pops are far less
