Re: Serious Word Document Problems - Please, PLEASE Help! :(

I *loved* OS 9.1 and Office 2001, Jeff. It was simple to adjust memory
settings when/if things bogged down. And it was fast. The only reasons OS
X and Office 2004 are faster for me are that I'm using a G5 machine with 1
GB memory.

In fact, I was the very "last on my block" :-) to upgrade to OS X and had to
be dragged kicking and screaming by my fellow MVPs. Just ask any of them.
Believe it or not, I didn't make the transition until just short of a year
ago!

Cheers,

Beth
