Alan,
Keep in mind that things do change and, as has been said, you will
eventually run out of operating system support and then you will be in a
very undesireable position.
I would go ahead and pay the SMA fee so that when you do need to make
changes the ability and support will be there.
While I may not load V 12 as yet I will go to it when I think things are to
my benefit.
I am glad I do have W7 as it does some things which are as slick as owl poop
on a Locust tree.
My Del will, most likely, not support Windows 7 so there will come a day
when it is new laptop time.
Cy, The Anasazi

Dear Cy,
Exactly what I thought!
I just needed to hear it from some one like you that has a lot more JAWS
technical knowledge than a slow buck like myself!
LOL!
Thanks Cy!
I shall keep my $120 then!
Yes:
"If it aint broke don't fix it"
That's a sound bit of advice!
