What happened with this? My brother was having problems loading certain websites with his Mac, but he was unable to try using StarOffice because there's no mac version.... > >> As to XP, ME, 98: I looked into this and opted to stick with 98. > Barfo -- oops, geez, from the physics of Tao to spirit religion to software >religion, all in one day.

If the Finnish Gods had actually wanted us to try their product, then they should have made it easier and less dangerous to install on a Windows HD or, taking into account the dangers of this operation, a second one nearby prepared for such an installation, with all preparation aided by being able to download Linux, via windows, and so forth. Maybe it's all a piece of cake by now. If so, they sure took their time about it. I seldom met with anything but contempt when I attempted to explain to Linux advocates that I do not intend to become a computer expert to install something that will supposedly make my life easier. Net result: loss of about 50% of my data, and my setup. IMO, Linux could be more widespread if its advocates had gotten over their infatuation with their own genius and written slam-dunk *windows* applications for the more-seemless transition to Linux. As for the other operating systems alluded to today on this board, the ones for human beings, I haven't heard any mentioned that are tempting, however poetically fulfilling and comforting may be some of their accumulated ramblings. ------------------------ Yahoo!
