While I am still going through the joys of replacing an XP computer with a powerful documentation-free ACER computer (quad core with hyperthreading, terabyte hard drive, Blue Ray reader and 4 USB ports on the top with 1 or 2 E-sata ports in back), most of the applications have reinstalled with little or no problem. Quicken 2006 won't print reports because of a missing PDF driver but otherwise is OK. Upward compatibility seems decent. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
