Don't blame the 701 here - my P133 TP560 is slower on Office '97 than my 701 was on Office '95. (Especially noticeable on graphics stuff, like Publisher.) MS is the real culprit. I think the lags you're seeing have to do with memory usage - the apps are loading modules when you start typing (say into Excel). Make sure too that you have the performance settings (System Properties/Performance/File System/ Hard disk) set to "Network server" (instead of the default) in W95 or else your memory won't be used efficientle and the system will be swapping to disk too much. The 701 has remarkably fast HD and video for the class of machine it is. (BTW, Mr. Kim's remarks about the video quality of the 701 should be qualified - of the 4 701 TFT screens I had, 2 were noticeably superior to the other 2; I think IBM used 2 different suppliers. I don't think the better ones were much inferior to any other TFT screens I've seen, and all were clearly superior to even the best DSTN screens. Perhaps he has the lesser of the 2 makes on his 701.) - David
