I should add at this point, that I’m also planning to try and see if I can transfer my quiz database I built up, over the years, to the Performa.

That’s actually quite a job, as I’ve — currently — no available CD’s I can burn it to.   Which means emailing the file to myself, and — as the Mini has no floppy drive — head up to Brentwood Library and transfer them to floppy disc, there.

Which does have an upside.   I get some exercise, and I can use the older version of Microsoft Office that the library uses can save them in an older format the Performa can read; usually Excel 3.x, or 4.x format files.

Knew there was a use for Microsoft, somewhere …
