WLM and Eternal-September

The top-of-the-line Dell
cratered in three years (dead motherboard), at which point I discovered
their proprietary parts cost twice as much as they have any right to--last
Dell I'll ever buy.

Dell isn't the only one that's guilty of that, there are others too
Toshiba is one that comes to mind right off hand. Had a Toshiba laptop
who's motherboard died and found out that the cost of the replacement
board and another $100 bucks or so, I could get a new laptop.

Excellent, thanks. I obviously didn't know and stand corrected.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't there 2 versions of Works? One is just
plain Works which doesn't have MS Word, and then there is Works Suite
that does include Word along with Money, Streets & Trips, Encarta and
others.

Yep, as per the description, we are discussing the suite.

That is the version I have. I never installed the street tips but I did try
out the encarta. The internet made Encarta obsolete but before the net I
used to love Encarta.

I have works 2004 which I don't use anymore but it has Word 2003 in it.
I use the new word 2010 now.

Afaik, Word 2002 was the last version bundled in any Works Suite. A later
version was usually only available with the Works Suite by an OEM install
the later version or manually installing a later Word version.

I'm sure it's not just Dell, which is why my new computer was built from
off-the-shelf parts by a local shop rather than being a brand-name machine
which would lock me into using their (overpriced) repair parts. A new Dell
motherboard would have cost almost as much installed as I paid for a whole
new computer considerably more powerful than the 3-year-old Dell.

Well mine may be 2002 after all. I am not going to dig it out but it was a
cheap way to get Word.
