Hey guys,

check out http://www.thinkfree.com register and use their online service. This thing is frekking amazing and makes Office pretty much redundant.... except for Access.

Yup. I second that.

You first that or second that?

You have to pay for it?

http://www.openoffice.org/ is free. And good.

these guys are talking about the online version - it's a java-applet that means you don't have the prog installed as such, it's run off the webbyweb.

Yeah the online version which is perfect for people like me who wanna keep the music PC (only computer) free from dll hell.

Openoffice can be used without the installer too. Actually you have to install it once but after you have deleted it you can copy/paste the folder. So once, someone has done this for you, you are all set. Burn it on a stick or so (usb) and tada. (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?c=16&sc=96)

urggghhh .. programmed in java .. nah - thats pain in the ass. i'll stay with ms office

or just do what I did

write your own rich text app in Xhtml, JS, PHP and SQL


and connect it to your own remote filemanager.


only joking .. I do know there's a difference


ahem.
Anyone need a website?

I removed Office and installed Apple Works.

So fast, easy and streamlined and does 99% of what Office did for me. Database, mail merge, spreadsheet, etc... it's all there and cost a fraction of Office.

And the documents are Office compatible, too.
