Don't get me onto that....... A 386 PC using contemporary Word makes a 
reasonable typewriter, why late versions of word processor software 
-needs- what would have been a supercomputer a few years ago to emulate 
a fancy typewriter is just a con to keep people upgrading IMO.
Anyway, since I don't do games and Photoshop is the only software I own 
which needs power there is so far no point in upgrading, as the upgrade 
isn't yet twice as fast in real world than my 3 or 4 year old machine.
