Am on and off the Web doing research, and I also use MS Word and Excel very often. I have been using computers since the early 1980's, and old Tandy Radio Shack Model 3/4 with Trsdos. Those were the days when I final was able to use a Word Processor and could edit my own writings without having to get the help of a sighted person. It was great! A lot of changes from then to now. I started using Vocal-eyes very early on, and have been a GW Micro customer for years now. A couple years ago, I bought Office 2010, this after using Office 2001 for a long time. I have just never gotten the hang of using the new Ribbon layout Microsoft has now gone to using. I have also been rather aggravated about Windows 8 and 7, as I seem to be able to find stuff, then can't find it when I need it. I have found Win 7 and 8 to be about twice as clunky and Funky as Win xP. Call me an Old Dog that has reached his point of not being able to adjust to the Newest design, but it looks like I have become that old Dog. And no one is more surprised than me! I do a lot of research, a lot On Line. I will use my Win 7 or 8 system to do the On Line work. But I am thinking of building a very quick and solid Win XP system, running Win Eyes 8.4 and Office 2001. I won't be going On Line with this system, as XP has limited success doing this these days. but since I do a Lot of writing, I figure, I can use the older Office 2001, and be a Happy Camper. However, if I install my old Win XP operating System on a system, will I be able to download the updates , such as service pacts 2 and 3, plus all of the updates to Office 2001? if Microsoft has stopped supporting this old software, are there other sources for these updates, or is Microsoft still providing them. And what about typing in my Authentication codes for both XP and Office? Since both of these packages are no longer supported, am I just tuff out of Luck? -- Dave <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
