Thanks for that Alan, there's a new computer in the offing as this steam generated old lady is ready for that great workshop in the sky. I think that I will be using OpenOffice rather than lash out on Microsoft's, - undoubtedly good but expensive, Word/Office.

Ever the cheapskate, that's me, but at least I'm open about it.

You MIGHT find that Ubuntu linux would give your steam generated old lady a new lease of life.. Why not find a Linux magazine that has a Ubuntu Linux CD on the cover and give it a try ? Or get someone to download it and make you a live CD.

Sorry Mate, but I don't even know what or who Ubuntu Linux is/am/are. Is it something like Windows? My main problem is that my Libronix and photographs will more than fill up my hard drive, and getting the Libronix up sometimes makes an impatient little fellow like me just that, impatient. I haven't yet dared to download the three (apparently highly compressed) Libronix C.D.s that I had at Christmas as I don't think there'll be sufficient room on the hard drive or speed within the system.

Are you indicating that this sytem will remedy these problems?

Sorry Mate. Forgot the Libronix thing. I just looked on their website and it doesn't look as if it can run on Linux.

Yes. Linux is an alternative to Windows. But not all software can run on it, and if you are particularly attached to one pieve of software (e.g. Libronix) then you're stuck with Windows.
