When Ned mentioned a 'boot disk' - he doesn't mean a generic boot disk,
per se, but rather a 'boot disk' related to a given program.  My
recommendation would be to 1st, find a local user group (call
1-800-538-9696 and choose that option); and 2) get a basic program of some
kind.  Scantron Quality Computers sells Appleworks 4.3 for $99.95.
