Thursday night my modem crashed. Got service back on Friday temproarily, but it crashed again. Back up now, but could go out again at any moment. Cable company's supposed to come out Saturday afternoon and take a look. But because I run Win XP and have a 13 year old computer, they may just blow me off and say they can't do anything.
So, If I'm not posting stuff this weekend or for a while, that's why.

But yeah, when I can get about $6K saved up to replace the entirety of everything, I'll be replacing it all. I just don't see the point of piecemealing it when everything constantly changes as it is.
I rarely use anything more than photoshop for my comic related needs (i even have a copy of manga studio going unused *sigh*)
For a short time I had to run both my new comp and old comp. New comp for doing whatever was my daily function, and old comp for using my outdated equipment, (such as my scanner- and my tablet a few times, but that became to tedious)
As slow of a solution that piecemeal changeover would be.. it might be in your interest to get a new computer and update one program, and then use a monitor switch to go between computers as you do your functions. This will have the added benefit of extending the life of your old comp that much longer.
Of course- this is completely disregarding the possibility that you use the computer for work that isn't related to artwork, in which case I apologize for not considering that prospect.
That, plus I've got a ton of old data on hard disc that I need to convert before I shut the old system down. By hard disc I mean 3.5 inch 'floppies'. Partial novels, scripts, short fiction, etc. And it's all on Word Perfect, which is defunct and I have no idea what current word processor software to get to convert it with.
they are on CS6 now, and a full copy of Photoshop would be roughly 500. or $30 a month if you pay monthly for their service.
Or you could get the "free" CS2.

As for the writing- you could either convert them to RTF formats using your software, and then open them in Microsoft word or one of the shareware programs. Or you could see which programs will open wordperfect files.
I'm seeing something about "Kword"- might be worth downloading and seeing if it will open the files.
Honestly- take a little time to price things out- I think you can say to yourself "I get to buy a new toy!" - granted not top of the line- but something that will do things way better than you have.
No big. I'll get it all, eventually. I just have other fiscal priorities.
