6. Outside the US, the usage of older machines is more prevalent.

LOL.....You got that Right!!! I can go downtown today & buy a brand new 12-pin Dot Matrix printer. Until I came here, I hadn't seen one of those since the early 90's.

Last year the big "NEW" computer product here, were DVD Multi-burners. They weren't real popular because people were still using floppies to store their portable data. Why burn data to a 4.7Gig disk, when a 1.4 Meg floppy will handle all your storage needs?

My wifes highschool daughter had a Computer Class in her private school. They had ten Very Old computers, but only one worked. The entire Highschool had to share one computer!! The school didn't have the money to repair/replace the dead computers.

What country? Don't answer if you don't want to. I'm just curious. When I wrote that post, I had Africa, India, Middle East and even Britain in mind. In the Word forums I ran across someone in the UK, who just a month ago got a new copy of Word 2003 from her boss, wondered how to use it.

I just two weeks ago had uninstalled Word 2003, in favor of Word 2002.
