Hallo all
I installed 2.2 upon my work and home computers yesterday and everything
is up and working.
I think now is the time to thank everybody involved in development,
service,
etc. We now have a good word processor, which is really pleasant to use.
My personal story is probably that of many. Many years ago (in computer
terms), I bought Office 97 and continued moving it from computer to
computer
each time I changed my computer.
Why did I do it? My needs are average and Word 97 had all the
functionality
that I needed. Why should Microsoft force me to buy something which is far
more
sophisticated than necessary? To my surprise, when I changed my computer
two years ago,
I could still install Word 97. However today I can write a document in
Word
97, which is compatible with later versions of Word, but cannot read their
documents.
No problem, Open office does read those documents! It looks like that
I can retire my Word 97 and go over to Open office completely.
Again many thanks, we do appreciate your work and dedication
