The first word processor I used, as opposed to line oriented text editors, was the one that came with VAX VMS on the VAX 11/780. Later, I used PC-Write, on DOS, and then Describe, on OS/2, at home and Wordstar 2000 at work. Fortunately, I've never been in a position at work where I couldn't install OpenOffice or LibreOffice, to avoid using Word. When I was at IBM, I also used Lotus Smart Suite. I have also used Word Perfect 5.2, but preferred Wordstar 2000. When I set up computers these days, I always install OpenOffice and/or LibreOffice. On Windows systems, I also include the Microsoft viewers. I haven't installed Microsoft Office anywhere, since the days of Word 6. I have long paid attention to the dirty tricks MS has used to force market share. As a result, I always try to promote alternatives. I run Linux on my home computers, previously OS/2. I only have one computer, my notebook, that has Windows installed, but that's only because it came with it. It spends most of it's time running Linux. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
