Hi there, I know, the new machines are fairly low in price. However, there are some of us who still have machines that are MUCH slower than 2 GHz, but that still function perfectly fine. Also, there are occasions where $200 is simply not available (e.g., I've been eating Ramen for longer than I care to think about).
If you are using an older machine then my recommendation would be to look at some of the other software packages that are out there. There are many good web sites that list free text and word processing programs, just do a search from your favorite search engine. If you need to use spreadsheets though, then you will probably have to suffer through some fairly long pauses while using OOo Calc, since this is the only free spreadsheet program that I've had work well for me. Hope this helps clear things up and that I didn't flame anyone too bad. -----Original Message----- From: David V James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 3:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [users] Older Computer All, I have a hard time getting excited about supporting old computers, when new 2G machines w/128M can be purchased for under $200.
