I do believe a previous poster said it correctly, it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks but unfortunately, technology moves on. The good news is that the only ones that are impacted are those that don't stay current, and that doesn't impact anyone else. Of course there is always Apple
How much longer will there be support? I have it on 2 of our three computers and hubby has no desire to change.
