niffty and useful stuff...
didn't know where to put this so..tada!
heard about some free software that is an alternative to OFFICE.. so i downloaded it and damned if I can find the flaw! And -swear to god, I don't see where you ever have to pay a dime! It not only does everything that you can do in office, including powerpoint presentations, but it lets you work with office docs.. here's a link to the FAQ section on the site: http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/mostfaqs.html If anyone else has got anything like this, I'd love to hear about it! I love playing with this stuff... can't believe i never heard of this one before..  |

Re: niffty and useful stuff...
Well, glad to see you've found Open office!!
Ain't it cool?!! If your really into free software, have you considered experimenting with The Linux operating system? Linux has loads of free software that matches up to what wiondows offers, and much of it's better!! Completely unbiased view there!!!

By the very nature in which the way linux works and the fact that since it's inception it was designed as a "Secure" operating system, linux has very few viruses out in the wild, two the last time i looked into it, but they will have been dealt with with updates. Viruses aren't so much as a problem with linux as they are with windows because there are so many documented security flaws with windows, why would a hacker or other person want to attack a system running linux, when he could attack a windows system which has more security holes than a seive? However, there are free virus checkers for linux, should you feel it's necessary.
