Okay, maybe I am going at the Wallstreet hunt the wrong way. Originally I
wanted it to just be, essentially a portable typewriter- I put in a zip disk,
typed letters on it--carried the disk back to the desktop and printed them.
With my Wallstreet I have th floppy drive, zip drive, CD drive units.
The new IiMac will not open my QuarkXpress 7 files (all created when I was
running 10.4 on the G-3)- which I had also saved on floppies, zips and a thumb
drive--so if I can get a unit that I can load with an OS X less than 10.5)- and
be able to use any of the three methods I have Quark saved, then I will have
both a portable typewriter and a way to open the files I need for taxes NOW.
To repeat- I need something that will--
1) open my QuarkXpress 7 files (using floppy, zip, or thumb)
2) be able to be used simply as a portable typewriter otherwise.
3) oh yeah- cost is a rather large consideration and with time running out on
the tax thing----
I was looking for the Wallstreet because I knew a bit about it, have the
modules, and figured the price would be low enough that I might be able to
afford it.
So- opinions from one and all- should I stick with Wallstreet hunting or--as
some suggest go looking for something like a Pismo?
If I cannot figure out this soon, I have to buy a converting software for
the Quark to Indesign--since that is what I chose to go with on the new iMac.
Thanks All-- Sheryl
