![]() ![]() If the platform and application works for what you are trying to do, aside from a support angle, why upgrade? People can only type so fast, and (as a business manager friend once said) " All computers wait at the same speed." I usually suggest updating on the basis of support: i.e., "You know if that printer dies, there'll (probably) be no support for the new printer" (which, of course, depends on which printer is currently in use). WP (actually, WordStar was better) put most of the frequently used key combinations on the home row + CTRL or ALT. Most touch typists don't / didn't like the idea of having to remove their hands from the keyboard to mess with the mouse. Since they don't really need anything other than very basic text editing (some line numbers, some strikeouts, etc) they don't see a compleling reason to move to Windows / Word / GUI. I've been to a couple legal offices where WP & DOS are still being used.
