Folks might also look into Sun's Star Office Suite - does each and
everything that Micr$..t does, thats WP, Spreadsheet, Database,
Powerpoint, etc etc - the whole thing is $80... I use it heavily in
all of my business ventures, and have yet to find an
incompatibility... 80 bux for all of it.
Then of course, use FireFox for a browser and Thunderbird for your
email - you won't be subject to the whims an vagaries of the
MicroSheep (can you tell I've little use for the boys and girls in
Redmond??) and you'll be a whole lot safer, as well....
For that matter, you could get and install your favorite version of
Linux (free for downloading off the 'net, burning the 'live cd' .iso
image to a disc and looking around at different distributions without
installing to your drive, till you find what suits you - for free) that
comes with Open Office, for free.
Just think... you could have a computing experience that doesn't require
the $ Micro$haft wants ever living, breathing computer-user to pay, to
use 'their' software.
And, there's a lot you can do with Ham radio, in general, with Linux...
Did I mention that Linux is virus resistant, as well? ;-)
