I still go for Word Perfect Office 2000.... It does the easy stuff and it
does
the hard stuff.,... Installs easy, and I use all the modules (STD
edition)....
AND it pays back Corel for all the hard work that Corel is doing for
Linux....
After messing with SANE... The "easy" scanner program for hours last night,
I really appreciate the easy install. It got me WORKING in Linux much faster
than any other program...
