For me, that means Word and Excel and Kermit. I have a Toshiba 1200 with two 720k floppies, 2Mb of RAM that can be used as a RAM disk (and is powered when the machine is off, so it's non-volitile storage. The file types are compatable with the Mac applications. Substitute Word Perfect or whatever, but try to use the same appications on both platforms. /jordan
