I still haven't figured out why I will tolerate an
XT
running DOS loading
Word Perfect yet I get ticked off waiting for my
laptop to
load a doc
with Microsoft Word (OK so the XT is faster :-).
The price difference may have something to do with it, My
'new' XT cost me .56 cdn the laptop much much much more and
it doesn't deliver a proportionate increase in features or
performance.
