Re: [tdf-discuss] enquiry by new user....maybe!
Welcome to the world where you can use this amazing internet for your own enjoyment without having to be badgered by those seeking to make a profit with inferior merchandise. You might also enjoy checking out Gizmo's - http://www.techsupportalert.com/ they not only recommend LO, but many other quality programs - many free, or free to the individual user, ... ... ... The key is that there are many computer users who enjoy creating software for the sake of doing so; it's a hobby for them. Then there are those who attempt to collect these free programs as well as public access documents, et.al. to make others pay for the privilege of using them ... ... ... ;-( As an historian & researcher, I'm with those who wish to preserve quality & public access - so I welcome you to our side.

But you can really contribute to the project making a donation to the Foundation. LibreOffice is better than OpenOffice because its development is more advanced, its community is more advanced, the enthusiasm around the project is more advanced. Ciao -- Valter Open Source is better!
