My brother told me that textedit is "open source" or something like that. It will always work, forever. I am so tired of saving doc s for years and then not being able to open them. EVEN with the newer version. It'll say this version of the doc is too old. I am trying to go through and convert all my page-like doecs to textedit, but IS there any numbers-like/spreadsheet program that will be out there forever, that I can ALWAYS use to open old forgotten docs?
