Yep. But that's the point: Set aside that 3.1 doesn't make use of that amount of memory, you're stuck with Word 6 / Excel 5, which is good to me, since this is one point that makes me angry: Almost everybody on this world will flood you with incompatible office 97 / 2000 documents. There are converters (word) but these don't work on complex documents.
But they wont do it , they want to keep you on the bloody upgrade treadmill like the hapster that will run till its dead. At least with the open source there is the code so any one can look at it and see how its done.
I'd appreciate a document standard that will live a bit longer and is *an open* standard supported by all software manufacturers...
With the PC's we got in 1997, there was no driver suppot for win 3.11 anymore, video config was hell. We were forced to upgrade to NT4 in the end.
