I am intimidated by all I have learned on this topic. It seems that the penalties for not upgrading are pretty significant. I think we will favor buying a new or recent MBP or Air, and run the most modern version of Word she can tolerate. I'm a bit amazed at this decision. I have two machines myself. One is the biggest MBP made and is keep current in all respects. The other is a Pismo running Tiger that I do as much writing on as I can. Doesn't seem to be any sweet spot in the middle for my partner. -- Ted On Monday, September 17, 2012 8:09:02 PM UTC+10, tedg wrote: > > My partner needs a new Macbook and we will likely buy the fastest we can > get. > > But she does not want to upgrade from her Leopard/Word 2004 setup.
