e i think i'm looking forward to hear that you set the system up, or at least got involved pretty good. the people who told you if you could drive someplace or tie your shoes you could perform the various pc tasks were probably slightly prone to understatement. regarding tech support that comes with the machine being the determining factor on whether or not you go with different software, well..... let's just say that sometimes that tech support isn't as good as what you might find on a computer learning thread. have fun with your new computer, e keep us posted :) mark

E, For what it's worth (not much)...my opinion is that your brother is right. I've read a lot of bichin in the trade press about MS Works.....most (all) of the pro's seem to prefer MS Office. MS Office 2000 Pro....I'm still on Office 97, so I can't give you a first hand opinion of the upgrade*. I'm sure that MS Office 2000 is much more comprehensive than Works....if all you're ever going to do is a little word processing, then it probably doesn't make a big difference.
