[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1517543, member: 56379"] Eventually you need to modernize. If you REALLY need to run older software...but at the same time you want or need to run newer OS versions...sometimes your best option is two computers. - one older computer to run the older software - one newer computer to run the newer OS version Yes...you may have a lot of money invested in older software. But this is just like having a lot of money invested in an older automobile. A person may have paid $30,000 for a 2002 automobile...but guess what that 10 year-old automobile is worth in 2012...probably about 10% of it's brand new value ($3000). With 10 year-old software it's even worse. Software that may have cost $1000 10 years ago...is probably worth about $20 bucks now. Realistically if you tried to sell this old software...you would be lucky to find anyone willing to pay anything for it. So...that money invested in really old software is really not a discussion point...since it's basically worth nothing. Is it nice to have?...sure. But financially speaking...it's almost worthless. Time to upgrade!!!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
