Windows 3.1? Holly crap yeah it hung on for a long time. If you are
only doing word processing then there is really no need to upgrade.
However should you one day need to read a document create on a more
current system its likely you wont be able to read it on your old
system.

I only have wordpad. and one of my software packages docs MS Word in
a word format not compatible with wordpad. Idiots.
