Toni and Kate, thank you. It does have some potentially useful features, and I'm still wavering but haven't got long to dally.
On general principles I try always to lean toward keeping my software as up to date as possible. On the other hand, I'm still blissfully enjoying Windows 7 and Word 97.
So I'll have to make up my mind soon but I can tell you one thing for certain. I will not be won over by their "cold driving rain on that windy morning"!
