Hey y'all!!

OK it looks like im gonna have to bite the bullet at some point and buy MS Office. The problem being as im sure your all aware....its Faaaaaarking pricey!! And I aint got a pot to piss in at the minute (due to new printer which has made me realise that I need MS office. I believe thats called irony)

I have stumbled over this and it looks quite good on paper



Does any one know any thing about it? Or can suggest any other alternatives,please?

Thankyou in advanve

Try Open Office. I have never used it but it is said to be quite good, & largely compatible w/ WinOff. Price is very good at free.

Why buy it when you can download it for free?

There are FREE alternatives to Microshite that do the job just as well:



I have this on a portable USB Drive and use it all the time everywhere as well as on my home PC.

Add Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird and you don't need Microshite and they are all FREE!!!

Hey Muswell!!

!laugh!

I was thinking of calling it some thing slightly more catchy. What about "My struggle"? Im sure thats never been used before. Well not by any one the world has heard of,at least.

All ways a pleasure Muswell. Sincerely hope this finds you in top health chap
