I thought it may be of interest to know that on last Tuesday's (March

surprise mention in a section about Microsoft's termination of support
for Windows XP:

Also, Office exploits are a problem. I would drop Office and switch over
to one of the open offices, and everyone says LibreOffice is the one.
Apparently it forked off of OpenOffice some time ago. And I guess Sun or
Oracle got bored and decided, okay, fine, we're going to let go of it.
So LibreOffice is the one you want. And of course keep that current.

I did not hear about that podcast show.
Nice to know that there are people out there that are willing to mention
LO in a different environment or topic of discussion.
Of course, as sample For me would be that now I will have to figure out
how to update XP on rebuilt computers that had to go back to the
original XP SP1 or SP2. Plus not having to pay for a new OS in the
process. Of course I would have talked about LO and Linux. LO for the
free office suite and Linux for the free OS if there was not Windows
option and the user of the computer will not need to install anything.
SO XP updating would be the different topic there.
