Now there is a constructive suggestion. I guess I have two ways to do that. Either I could spend my own scarce dollars for an inferior OS plus all the access tools to go with it, or else I could get some sponsoring 3rd party to do it on my behalf. Either way I would still end up with a poorly designed and bloated OS with a record of unstability where every move requires further bucks chasing the old ones, and all that just to read a couple of RTF files? I guess I would rather just explore the specs, or dope them out, and maybe take a whack at an RTF reader. At least that would be a useful and enjoyable task. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will put it on my list.
