why upgrading sucks
here's the skinny: boss's laptop won't charge anymore. we buy a new one. a new one with xp still on it (and before anyone says ANYTHING, yes we use PCs. we're a law firm. we type documents, we use spreadsheets, we don't need macs). but we can't get around office 2007. that's ok, though, becuase office 2007 allows you to save documents in a 2003 format, so the files will still be compatable with our three other computers. but i didn't anticipate our other software not being able to work with office 2007.
we use this awesome program by lexis nexis called Time Matters. it's fully integrated with everything we do, makes the files much more comprehensive, and integrates with office so we save directly out of whatever program we're working in. we have TM7, right now, they're on TM9 and are upgrading in the next year to TM10. but there's nothing that TM10 does that we need and can't already do in TM7. cherry on top would be if it was compatible with an iPhone, but it doesn't look like it's going to be. TM7 won't connect to Office 2007. and there's no support for it. if we pay $640 we can talk to a technician, who can't garauntee that they'll be able to make it work. or we can pay $900 to upgrade. why would we upgrade software that works just fine. the only, and i mean ONLY reason we bought the new laptop is because you literally could not turn the old one on!! my computer at home is pushing six years old. i swear i'm going to be holed up with it in a trench somewhere with people banging down my door demanding that i upgrade. cuz lord knows i can't afford a mac.
p.s. i've gotten runs in two pairs of hose this week. bugger.
i'm off to scour google in hopes of an answer
