Geek Tech' Help.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I need to open some documents that are wordpad, but they seem to be an old version that can't be opened with Windows XP :urff:
Can I open them?.
Do I need Windows 95?
Where can I get a FREE!! Windows 95 if I do?

Apparently it's Microsoft Word I need, I've got Microsoft Works but this will not let me read the documents :evil: , I don 't suppose there's a Free download that someone knows of?.

As the matter of fact, the more I had, the better I understood and did Scottish last year. At least that's what I thought :lol:

Shame you won't be there, take care of the wee one :wink: :notworthy:
