Thanks for the information folks.

I have started converting my .doc files to .rtf which solves one problem.

My most used programs I will havae to find replacement for are:

uBook (Ebook reader)-best one bar none! FBreader is getting there but not there yet.

Olivetree Bible reader - Has Esword been ported?

Mort player - lowest cpu time on my Dell & I like the interface.

Looks like I will me taking a closer look come Income tax refund time! Then I am sure I will have MORE questions!
