[Thinkpad] NEED NEW COMPUTER FOR DAUGHTER

[Pretty Good Computer Services]

That add-on for 2007 is hard to find, but it does allow 2000 to read 2007
files...


But it is not an acceptable option for any of the students... They must have
legal versions of 2007.  We still do not know if they are trying to enforce
morality or ethics or equality... but this is being done at a number of
colleges and universities this fall.
