 "I do not like the Linux office programs and I feel 
like I have given them the old college try.  I simply do not care for 
it... when it takes me three hours to do something I could 
have done in one hour, it is not benefiting myself nor our family."

 She wants Office. She's even willing to get a separate new computer
for it. I'm trying to avoid that just to save money - obviously I'd
love a brand-new computer, but we have other places to put money. I'm
going to get a trial version of Crossover and see if that'll placate
her. If not, I'll get some extra RAM for a computer in our basement
and make that the Windows computer.

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                     (313) 227-2317

 Philosophical Issues posed by life extension, and my attitude
 has always been that I'm willing to grapple with those issues
 for as many centuries as it takes." - Patrick Nielsen Hayden
