Thank you for the help, it sure looks like Komposer is still viable! I wasn't sure. I am going to give it a try, it does look simple and not flashy! just my speed
Martha, about Windows 7, I guess I don't like change, I am better with change than my wife, but if it ain't broke. . . .? At the small town Museum/Archives that I volunteer at, we still have some windows XP desktops going, we use them for data-entry and digitizing, the XPs just gave up on the internet a few months ago. The expensive older museum curating software we use isn't even supported on windows 7 but, 2 years ago we bought two refurbished Dell win7 desktops and its working great, they are much faster than the old XPs they replaced, but that is the hardware not Windows.
I hope that doesn't sound like a rant, I don't have strong feelings about it, I just use what works.
Thanks again
Randy
