I am looking into it. All I need is a good word processor that has the ability to cut/copy/paste. We don't do any graphics, so Word (and Office) is kinda overkill.
One good feature of Word - that I use a lot, is the ability to convert a Word doc into a PDF file. I am always sending PDF's to new patients. Anyone can open a PFD file these days. So if I can find a fast work around, I think I will go to Open Office. I wanna start in January 2010, so I have plenty of time to investigate.
Only thing is, The Boss likes Outlook, so I will have to purchase that separately.
What is holding me back is we use Quickbooks. I need to hang around their forum, and as soon as I hear good things about Quickbooks and Windows 7, I can seriously look into getting a new laptop.

Hi Nubiker,
This link will take you to free software I also have that converts documents to pdf files.
I have not used it in a while but as far as I remember to convert you act as if you were going to print a doc. and from the drop down list you choose the cute software and instead of printing it will convert the doc into pdf, and after that you can do what you need to do.

Many thanks Marge, I am going to check it out.
Now about that laptop I am considering....
I either want one with the largest screen they sell, or, I would like to get a cheapo netbook, and connect a 21 inch monitor, a USB keyboard, and a USB mouse to it.
Any opinions on that??
margemib:
You know it has no hard drive on it to save documents.
It is just for going on the internet that is what I hear about it.
So you cannot have open office or any other program on it.

Well there goes that idea, LOL.
