Read the entire article and all of the comments.  Some good.
Some bad.  I think you will decide on a cheap windows device
instead of a chromebook.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Chrome Book compatibility with Word
97 files?

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
