Hi, Damian,
You wrote this request to a *Linux* support list, not a Microsoft one.
You will be pleased to know, however, that my Mom has a somewhat older E
Machines PC than yours, and it supports Linux beautifully. OK, the
winmodem rots, but it does work. There are many things out there much
better than Microsoft Works and Microsoft Windows ME. So... if it were
my system: I'd format the hard drive and install Linux-Mandrake 8.0,
and use the very nice KOffice suite, or perhaps Star Office, rather than
Works. Of course, that's me.
What kind of an answer did you expect on a Linux group???
Good luck!
Caity
