The Print Shop

launched in 1984, made in the US, by Brøderbund

popular desktop publishing tool for APPLE II, MS-DOS, Commodore 64, Atari

that could be used with household dot-matrix printers

seems to have been most popular for making your own greeting cards

giving the computer another purpose that is not educational nor business related (!)
