The one I bought was called the 10th Anniversary Edition it came with the
book Paint Shop Pro 7 & Animation Shop 3 Getting Started Guide and a really
thick book Reference Guide both printed in 2001 but I think it said that the
year 2000 was the 10th Anniversary of the program, blimey where's the time
gone g

Since this threatens to be the longest thread in ME.general's history, I
may as well join in

I used to use PSP7 - but don't recall it being any sort of Anniversary
thingy? Nowadays, unless it needs something specific, Irfanview does the
lion's share of the work.

WP again - I used to use it back in the days of DOS.... maybe WP3 or
4??.... when Windows came out, I converted the few files I had to Word,
and never looked back (I was too busy runningg).

As for pasta.... The schedule here is for me to make a Bolognese on
Thursday - all welcome, if you can get here through the floods which will
(obviously) follow the thaw that's (so the weathermen say) coming
tomorrow/Thurs/Fri.
My only problem is where to get decent Pork mince - I like to use 1/2:1/2
pork/beef if I can - it improves the texture immensely. The rest is fairly
standard. If I was brave I'd have a go at making my own spaghetti - but
it'd cost a small fortune to buy the 'proper' equipment, and I can't be
bothered to do it the old-fashioned way

I suspect that I'm going to have to compromise on the wine to go with the
Bolognese - I'm the only one I know of the four scheduled to attend who
actually drinks red wine..... so getting a decent Chianti is out of the
question... Lidl may have something to offer when I go shopping tomorrow
( their Chateauneuf was very palatable - especially at 'only' £7 a pop!).
Perhaps a reasonable Rioja? It's likely to end up being either Lidl or
Tesco.... since 17th Dec I'm not allowed to drive as I was naughty, and
got my license confiscated for 12 months

Enough already!... I've made myself hungry again - and I only ate a
couple of hours ago!

Didn't Corel take over PaintShop Pro ? I have version 7 of PaintShop Pro
the Anniversay Edition here but haven't got it on this machine in either
Vista or Windows 7.
I know I get regular emails from Serif with offers for their programs but
as I'm not into photo or video editing I don't see the point spending
money on such things.

I'm another one that hardly ever uses Word, I just use Excel, I have Home
& Student 2007 version which just comes with Excel, Word, Power Point and
OneNote.

The snow started again this afternoon but turned into rain, don't know
what it's going to do overnight the temperature at the moment is down to
freezing.

Thanks.....perhaps I will go with X3 the and maybe upgrade. I asked on
two different WP news groups which was better (that or 12) and NO ONE
had the decency to reply. Think I will post a decidedly sarcastic note,
grin.

My version 8 came with WinME and I think it was an OEM one or a
curtailed one. And I seem to remember a very nice lad in the US at
Corel who sent me a full version, but damned if I know where that is.

Nice break in researching........I was trying to read pages in spanish
and failing miserably, lol. It seems that the Archives are in Sevilla
and are now available. I remember when they wouldn't let the LDS into
the country (heretics!!) to microfilm their records. Oops, for those
not into genealogy, LDS folks are the Mormons.

Cheers........off to find a peanut butter sandwich cuz Shane made me
hungry. (G)

I've got WordPerfect X4 installed here. I installed and ran X3 on this
box in April 06 and updated to X4 in November 08. Both installed and
ran/run without problem. Like yourself I don't use MS Word although I
do have it installed as I make a fair bit of use of Excel and very
occasionally Publisher. To be honest I make virtually no use of any of
the changes made in recent versions, the same being true of Office, so
if you're the same install whichever version you think you will be most
comfortable with.

Hey, btw........I have 3 Wordperfect cd's here and am wondering which
one to put on. As you and I seem to be the only two people on Usenet
that prefer it, I thought I would ask.

1. Really old Version 8 which I think was *topped up* by Corel at
some point.
2. An OEM version of Office 12 which I got for free, just pay the
shipping (illegal?)
3. Ditto for X3 and ditto again. MDG was advertising them for
*sale*, so bought them years ago.

I don't use it much, but prefer it over MS Word which I do have on
here (MS Office 2003)
