Hello All,
Was eager to view MW EX. No luck. I am on a Mac - as was my entire
school. They are stalled at OS 9 due to lack of funds. No luck on the
Mac.  So, OK  - try the family PCs. Out of luck there too as they are
running Windows XP home Edition.
BTW. I installed MW Pro and remembered why I stuck with MW 2.0 The screen
layout is too complicated for the young children I teach and the working
area too small.
I will always love MW so I hope these compatibility problems are
resolved.
