You've got an old box to sort of look at for reference, right?</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/199/6572007-09-20T18:15:05ZSursumCorda<p>I just discovered Google Docs, to which Andy was referring. (No point in putting in a link -- just go do Google.) It may take a while before I'm comfortable putting my documents on the Internet (I'm still not comfortable with the GMail idea), but I can see ways in which it would be very, very handy!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/199/6562007-09-05T17:33:19ZAndy Bonner<p>Well, you *can* transfer to the internet. I'm so glad I use Gmail because I regularly have reason to check past emails, to prove a correspondence or the like. With Google docs and the many other web-based Office &quot;replacements&quot; like Ajax Office, you can store a lot of Word and Excel documents online. A lot of the more advanced Word &amp; Excel features are missing, but if it's a relatively basic document it works.</p>
