Re: Word

That makes it even easier. Any Mac or PC with a diskette drive and either MS Office or Open Office installed could be used to read and print those documents. In fact, any Mac or PC with a diskette drive will be able to copy them to a USB-stick for further processing on your new iBook, even without an office program installed.

I don't think it's needed to buy a USB connected diskette drive for a one time use like this. You might find a PC somewhere (friend, family, work, public library) that still has a diskette drive.
