Hello, again; Well I thank you for the information. But, what package is out there that I can install on the SE that will let me word process, create some graphs, create a spreadsheet while being compatible with the system and functional with equipment much newer than it. It has 1 megabyte memory, 20 SCS hard drive and an 800 kilobyte disk drive.
