[NTLUG:Discuss] OT - maybe not

[Jack Snodgrass]

I use open office ( not sure if it came with RH 8.0 or if I got it from
RedCarpet ( ximian ) ) 
and it seems to work fine for the .doc and .xls files I have to access.
I haven't used
windows in a couple of months. 

It was free... can't beat that. ;)
