I point out that this "stupid" machine is no more stupid (and

My experience only goes back to the 60s but I heard it said that if you had
someone working for you who did what a computer does you would fire that person

Don't give up, it really is very simple and OOo is worth the limited
effort it requires.
I whole heartedly concur.
