There must be thousands of computers scrapped that came with MSWorks, and I doubt that MS ever offered a refund. But the version you are using is crummy. Version 4.5 is magnificent and it went downhill from then onwards. I have later versions but 4.5 is the one (like most people) I prefer. Fast, efficient, and dead easy to use. Now there's a point - a relation has just bought a new computer with the latest version of MSWorks and I have tried to use it to show her how to operate with it and failed dismally. It's junk. So I reckon I could give her an old version (4.5) and take the new one off. Even MS should be happy with that.	Thomas01 (317)
