“I’m about to do something that will have more than a
few people who know me thrashing around and screaming in horror.
I’m replacing a free application with one I’m paying money for.

“To be precise, I’m replacing what I use of OpenOffice.org 3.2
with Microsoft Office 2010.

“Shock! Gasp!

“Well, it wasn’t like I didn’t try.

“When I bought Office 2007, I spent the money on Word and

particularly advanced with Excel in the first place.

“Then I tried using OO’s Writer as a replacement for Word, and
ran into one inadequacy after another.”
