I have version 3.01 of Word and 1.04 of Excel. I love both programs, I am just annoyed that I have to keep getting upgrades because someone at Microsoft _decided_ to hardwire the programs for 1Mb machines. Like I said, its hard to do on a machine that knows nothing about segmenting and has a linear address space. I have been a certified developer since 1984, and not ONE of my programs (which are mostly verticle market widgets) has broken under an Apple system software release. Reading Inside Macintosh makes this possible. If I can do it, and I am one programmer, Microsoft, with its BILLIONS of dollars and many many programmers certainly can... ...guess its time to hang out on Microsoft customer support line tomorrow moring... (*Sigh*).
