down with microsoft

not really. I just found out about a free program from Sun microsystems that replaces the Microsoft Office suite. It's called OpenOffice and can be found at Openoffice.org

I haven't tried it. I'm waiting to get my new computer to put it on that. I think I will be able to cannibalize my old computer and make that little 30gig hard drive a slave drive loaded with linux. The cool think about open office is that its cross-platform, it has versions that work on linux, mac and pc's. That'll make my use of linux a likkle more easy.

Actually, a friend of mine showed it to me. I didn't get to delve into it, but it looked like it had most of the stuff i'd use from Word anyway.
