I started the same way, Jim. Back in 1987 I had a Tandy with no hard drive and 2-5 1/2 inch floppies. then i went to a 'state-0f-the-art' Dos computer that was built for me. It had a whopping 40 mg hard drive. I used a word processing program called Eight-In-One. I had a Dot Matrix printer . Then i graduated up the ladder to finally having DOS 6.1. That was an IBM My first Windows computer was Windows 3.0, then 3.1 etc with another IBM. I then had one built for me with Windows 95, then bought a Dell with Windows ME. Another point i would like to make is that I'll bet I am older than you. Where you have me beat is in the numbers of computers you have had. i have had only 8 or 9. I used to run my Goldmine Program in DOS. That program was so much faster and easier in DOS. When they came out with their first Windows program, it became a real space hog. Arianne
