You're welcome.Great resource.

Because Office 95 isn't compatable even with Office 2007. You can't use anything done in 2007, on 95, or vise-versa.I've had 2 machines that the "free upgrade" turned into bricks. Lost everything on the machines. Even though I've made a lot of money over the years writing software of Microsoft machines, I hate them. Not as much as I hate Apple, but with Win10, I think Microsoft is trying to come close with respect to my hate index.
I have a lot of legacy software that I use. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to buy new software when I'm not even using all the features of the old software. Why should I have the latest version of MS-Office when I doubt that I've used 10% of all the features in Office-95?

I understand all the "love" you have for Microsnot.... Me too. Especially, with this WinX debacle.
However, the Sheeple (masses) demand "Shiney, and new" WinX. Since I'm in the business of computer repair/refurb/upgrade, It is wise for me to get to know it. Granted, if it weren't for the spying, and privacy issues, WinX, actually is a decent O/S. How did WinX turn your machines into "bricks"? You CAN re-install a different windows, or roll back WinX, if you do so within 30 days of the WinX install.
Any document that I create in Office-95 can be read in Office-2007 and if you are sharing documents, you probably should consider not using the "latest and (not-so) greatest" version of Office unless what you are trying to do absolutely NEEDS those features.
I'm also more likely to just download and install OpenOffice these days on a new machine instead of searching through my CDs for the Office-95 CD.
In my cases, it was "brick" as in it would not boot at all. I could not even see a partition table on the drive. I eventually had to reformat the drives and install a version of LINUX on them.
Do you have a redundancy protocal in place?
Yeah, I store things in multiple places and then forget where I stored them.
Well, THAT sounds about right!Yeah, I store things in multiple places and then forget where I stored them.
Microsoft made an interesting decision with Windows 10’s Anniversary Update, which is now in its final stages of development before it rolls out on August 2.
Cortana, the personal digital assistant that replaced Windows 10’s search function and taps into Bing’s servers to answer your queries with contextual awareness, no longer has an off switch.
