Take a Test Drive…
posted June 29th, 2006 by Shannon
Microsoft is allowing users to download a test drive of Office 2007. (But of course you can’t keep it forever.) OpenOffice.org wants to get the word out that you can take their test drive AND keep the car. Forever. Just like always. Completely free. No strings attached.
We’ve been trying OpenOffice for a few months now, although MS Office is still installed on our machines. I did have to go back to Microsoft’s product once to print some labels that OpenOffice didn’t seem to be handling correctly. For everything else we’ve needed, OpenOffice seems to be doing the job just fine. So give it a try if you want. And while you’re at it, download Firefox too. Tabbed browsing is just simply THE way to go.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion. I think I’ll try this out, no better opportunity than to experiment on a freshly re-formated computer. (not recently backed-up, of course.)
No way – that stinks! Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you guys. There’s a couple ‘Laura’ folders on our hard drive here, but I doubt it’s anything you really need. Bummer!
