Microsoft didn't invent spreadsheets Visicalc did (more or less)

Re: New computer
I currently have a HP Intel 1.3 processor and am quite happy with it. I did not pay a lot £349 and bought it from PC World. If I were buying again I would get another Intel processor either 1.5 or 1.7 if I could afford it at the time. Never tried the AMD processors, but everyone I speak to tell me that the Intel processor is better. I am sure if you shop around you will be able to get a deal on the MS Office. I am not an expert, but I have never had any problems with the Intel processors. I don't want to go very fast or play the complicated games, but I do want reliability.

Re: New computer
Have a look at this thread Lindy - quite a few of us opted for the £10 - £13 MS Office offered by Amazon. The price is just for the software `key`, the program itself will need to be downloaded from Microsoft.Added to my last post. Can't edit it for some reason
