Right? Why would a kid in middle school need to reliably open Windows Word XP documents. Especially when your last sentence says he needs a word processor "at least". Why not look for an older copy of Word or MS Works even. Or, better yet, get him a used PC. He'll definitely be able to open Windows Word XP documents with that. Maybe! You sound like someone torn between two camps. Mac & PC.
Personally, I have nothing against PC's or Microsoft. But you're telling the kid to get a Chevy and use nothing but genuine Ford parts. If you have the time, stop by my web site and see some of the things that can't be done with ClarisWorks. Then tell me it sux. -- Tony LaFemina When you want to do more than just buy software http://hometown.aol.com/visitmacland/index.html mailto:remacs at optonline.net | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be September 23.
