Charlie,
Just a couple of simple requests to preserve sanity on the list:
1. Don't post e-mail attachments. They can bog-down the mail server and make
mail downloads unnecessarily lengthy for users.
2. The last time I checked, Microsoft had not released a version of MS Word
for GNU/Linux. Can you please post in plain text, or link to a site?
With that said and done, here's my commentary.
These charity people are just plain imbeciles. Though I greatly respect their
work, I can't figure out why they still bitch and moan even after things like
this (http://www.linuxworld.com.au/news.php3?nid=861&tid=4) occur.
Thanks for the info, but please try in the future to be a bit more careful
with your choice of distribution media :-)
