If it makes you feel any better, I work for a law firm and one of the computers is running Windows 3.1 or 3.0 (if that even exists), together with WordPerfect 5.1 -- but that runs thru DOS. My computer is much more high tech. I have Windows 95, and WordPerfect 6 (which I got second-hand from a client), which actually runs through Windows, not DOS. Yay for me. :thumbs-up:

Wow, that sucks. Bad. Damn..

Anyway, about the monitor, is there a cell phone near it, like right next to it? That could make it flicker like mad.

And they say cell phones emit radiation that gives you tumors. Pffft!

You can get a monitor degaussed with some device that you run across them, I forgot what it was though.

that is actually very common for law firms (or more common than you would think). Wordperfect for dos was very macro configurable, and a lot of law firms invested in customized documents. They don't want to take the time/money to re-train personnel or re-write the macros.

I just install it and train myself. :-p
It's kind of stupid because the computerized forms that are available (Allstate, HotDocs, etc) all require a higher platform (is that the word I'm looking for?) than what the one computer has, so we have one that's fairly up to date (mine) and one that's wayyyyy behind the times.

We don't even have internet access in my office.
