You know, I haven't installed Micro$oft Office on a machine I own or work on since 1994 when I found "StarOffice" originally created by a 16 year old German kid. I've used it ever since. Under OS/2, Windoze, and LInux, then migrated to OpenOffice as it evolved. NO ONE KNOWS. They all think I' have office. I only had a brief issue when office '07 came out with that abysmal .???x file format until someone created an extension and a conversion program that allowed me to handle them. I'm the "go to" guy to get things done with word processing and spreadsheets, and everyone asks why they can't do what I can. But when I tell them I use OpenOffice and they should also, I get the "deer in the headlights" look, as though their head will explode if they fail to follow father Gates and his devil spawn. oh well, they'll learn.... > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- ================================================== Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Dark Chocolate in one hand - Tequila in the other, body and mind thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - What a Ride!"
