The thing that really sucks is when MS makes it impossible to get Office
2003 now. Office 2003 was/is stable, works well and most people have
enough computer to use it without lag. Office 2007 is a complete PIG,
and I can actually type faster than it puts it on the screen, even under
Win XP systems. I can't even order Office 2003 any more.
