Yes the old style is a lot more familiar, but the ribbon jobby is growing on me.. From what I can gather new users especially find it a lot easier than the old system.

Mind you, I did learn in Wordstar with . commands to change everything  ;D ;D ;D

THOSE were the days  ;D ;D ;D

Remember it - not so well, but it took me ages to get weened off supercalc, I had bought it and self taught myself *what I needed to use" got all the upgrade versions to 5, I did so love that program.

I wouldnt have a clue where to start with it now. :-/

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Yeah, I get HUP.  Mrs TheBoy gets the EPP (which MS are pulling in a couple of months) which although more expensive does mean you own it (not the case with HUP)

That is what is still in use at Wolverhampton uni. I wish I had known that before buying 2007 for my Misses in anticipation of her starting her course in a few weeks...

My first computer was a Sharp MZ80K computer, way back in 1979; I learned 'Basic', 'Fortran' and 'C' on that machine....[size=14]THOSE[/size] were the days! ::)

....mind you; it was a rubbish machine! ;D

Wow. Haven't seen one of those for a while. .. and it was a long time after that that I had anything that you could program in C.

Rubbish they might have been in those days, but not running office 2007 made them much less susceptible to physical damage, IME. >:(

Just wondering what the first machine I used would have been. Borrowed an Apple II and a LISA soon after they first came out, and I remember being sat in front of some type of DEC machine when my dad occasionally took me into work with him. Probably a PDP11 in those days. I remember great excitement when their VAX 11/750 was delivered. 8-)
