Hi Tony! Sorry for my density, but are you saying that the PC would burn
up under the strain? 'Cause I've actually run Word 2010 under Win XP
with 2 GB RAM. I wouldn't try it with Win 7, mind you, but with Win XP
it purred like a kitten. Big files, graphics, whatever.

I think Kat should resort to broadsheets, and x-acto knife, and wax.
The 2GB RAM on the computer would turn that computer into a jukebox for

All this talk about Word, InDesign, FrameMaker, or any other computer
program makes me long for the good old simple days, where "single
sourcing" meant you kept all your socks in a single drawer.
