Cool, thanks. Dan Gillmor is an old friend, and I spoked with him
several times about LibreOffice. I happy to see is a happy user now, as
he stumbled upon several interoperability problems in the past. I will
try to visit him when I will be in the US for OSCON, if he is in the
Silicon Valley (he works at Arizona University in Phoenix, which is far
from almost everything but rattlesnakes).

 I’m not acting on some paranoid fantasies here. I’m emulating, in the
tech sphere, some of the principles that have led so many people to
adopt “slow food” or vegetarian lifestyles, or to minimize their carbon
footprint, or to do business only with socially responsible companies.

 Just about every kind of software I need is available for Linux, even
if it often isn’t as slick as the Windows or Mac products it replaces.
LibreOffice is an adequate Microsoft Office substitute for the things I
do. Mozilla’s Thunderbird ...

Cheers,
Cor
