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!

Cool Desktops and File Icons for Windoze

Okay, so my fam are Mac people.  We live in a Windoze world.  And I love how on a Mac, you could change the color of your yellow folders so that you could easily organize your life.  Windows does not let you do that.  Snore.  But, with some effort, you can change the icons. 

This website below has desktops and icons for free:
