Office 98 doesn't run on my machine. I don't think I even have a copy any longer.
I am not sure I ever did. Not a legal one anyway..
Now that SS drive is around the best upgrade You can do to most any machine
Its a big bit of RAM really;-)...
In article , Simon Brown scribeth thus
I thin we made the distinction betwixt 32 and 64 bit systems a few posts ago;!...
8 here.
Same here, two my machines have SSD system drives. They positively fly along.
Did *anyone* own a legal copy !? :-)
Yeah, mine does sometimes get that high but not very often. Usually only when converting a video into a format that is visible on one of the more primitive video players like an Xbox and I don?t need to do that often enough to leave that loaded all the time.
Actually, I've still got Windows 3.1 (3.11 to be precise)
I loved Word for Windows, V1, which came out in 1989. It did everything I wanted in exactly the way I wanted it to. It was great! Then along came V2 - which "improved away" all the bits I really liked. So I keep a small, separate computer running Win 3.11 and Word
1 (but not running t'internet) hooked up to a printer for all the arty-farty things I write and send to people in envelopes with stamps and I suppose I use that setup like a typewriter.I also have a typewriter.

Lol.
Theres a word proccesor that runs in a linux console - no GUI required - that behaves JUST LIKE WORDSTAR.
Somewhere I have word perfect for linux as well.
TBH wordstar and word perfect are all 99.99% of people actually need.
WORD is an abortion these days. Its neither a text editor nor a page layout editor.
Nor is it much good for scientific work.
I really hate it and its clone, libre office, because they do an awful lot really badly.
Sigh if relief when I discovered Scribus: Now the pictures stay where I put them.
+1 - I would not recommend anyone buy a laptop now without an SSD drive
- at least as the primary.
Gets you into BSI online as well...
Hmm, very handy, we have a library card. Thanks for the info.
Most word users don't though.
Ok.
