Hi. I don't think that is neccessary any more. If I understand you
correctly, you are saving up for a state of the art computer. That
provided, a modern big Linux gives you a better desktop (be it Gnome or
KDE) than Windows, and Star Office (which is cheaper than WinWord and free
for non-comercial users, if I remember correctly) gives you compatibility
with WinWord. And a few other things, I believe.
It may be swutting slow on my computer, but on what's in the shops now it
will be fine.

Yes, it is quick, as far as it goes. But it got on my nerves that it
doesn't do multitasking. It can keep track of more than one program, but
it only runs one of them at any given time.
Somewhat off-topic, but hello everybody, I'm back on the list!
