I'm thinking about buying an Acer Chrome Book because it's inexpensive and
I've read some really neat things about it, but I have some concerns?
I have many MS Word 97 files on a USB flash drive that I'm currently
editing and modifying using my old WinXP PC, and these files I'd like to be
able to work with on a convenient notebook computer.

But what happens with a Chrome Book with it's different OS, if I want to
use this Word97 loaded flash drive on it? Is there conversion software
where I would be able to read, write, and update my files okay?
Or perhaps I could download Open Office into the Chrome Book to do this
work?

Or also maybe I should just forget about the Chrome Book and get a MS Win
type of notebook instead?

Thanks for any advice here,
Greywoulf
