www.openoffice.org ROCKS!

Posted by Kate on October 28, 2008

Who needs Microsoft! 

I got a new computer.  I did not want to buy Word, so I downloaded the FREE open office to give it a try.  I was very cautious.  After all, I can’t mess up the documents I create at work on Word and then work on at home.  Not only is it seamless, I like OpenOffice BETTER!  Wish I could install it at work!

This website below has desktops and icons for free:
