Thanks, Never, that is exactly the advice I was looking for. I do have Word 98 and it runs in classic mode on this Pismo, but I'm having odd trouble with key delay and repeating letters. If that doesn't resolve, I will have to get 2004 version that will run native in OS X. The problem with 98 is odd as this Pismo has 512k RAM...would think that would be enough not to have problems with the classic mode, but oh well. I'm with you, less is more when it comes to word processors, I just want file compatibility with the rest of the world beyond a pure text file...
