I looked at Wine about 8 years ago in order to run the very few proprietary apps I needed on Linux. I haven't looked at it lately, but back then, it seemed that the wine devs were focused on getting proprietary games working, not apps such as ms Access. I gave up on wine when the equivalent L

Hi :) I think the documentation assumes that anyone using Gnu&Linux, or anything else other than Windows is canny enough to know how to use whatever they have got to open a chromium web-browser, or at least arsy enough to try. Like many support shops daren't mention that they are great at fixing n

Yes, it is not a Chrome list, but as the OP, I wondered about Chrome and LO and it seems like that will not happen in the foreseeable future. I would like to see some app that would be based on LO/AOO and deal with more format options than Google Docs have to offer us. We need to get into t

Well the lady showed up and she tells me that her printer will plug into the router, but I did not set it up since I would have to go to her place to do so. There is some confusion about whether or not she needs to set the printers up with the Win7 system first, according to the documentatio
