what I do ...

I still use wp51/prd for my local accounts ( I am the poster below). What I do is I keep about 2 Win 98 computers on backup (can get them for less than 50.00 now, most people are just glad to get rid of them), and I keep two copies of my program diskettes. When one messes up, I just load my programs on a different computer and go back to work!! I don't save my work to the hard drive, use duplicate copies on floppies (one by doctor and one just a running "master" of all work done).

I don't have this "local work" computer hooked up to the internet (intentionally - that way I don't have to worry about viruses and security issues), so the RAM and processor speed is no problem.

Don't ya'll laugh at me now .. LOL

:P
