Hi,
I Have been using Windows 3.1 for app. 15 years without Internet access and
been very happy with it.
Well done, and welcome to 2005. By-the-way under 3.1 how do I see what
processor and ram an old laptop I'm playing with has?
My ignorance of the new technology is amazing - even 18 year old high school
kids are bailing me out of my infinite number of computer mistakes.
Ah, but doesn't all the cool stuff on the internet make it worthwhile.
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org for example. Type something your
interested in in and see what comes up.
I would like to download OpenOffice to a CD and then use that CD in the
computer when I need to write letters, makes a spreadsheet, database, etc. The
reason being that I am terrified of paralyzing the computer hard drive someway
when I make my usual mistakes. Is this possible? Can I download the OpenOffice
program to a CD?
It sounds like you want what's called a 'live cd' of OpenOffice. So that
you can run it from the cd without installing it. Is that right? As far
as I know that is only possible if the cd also has an operating system,
in which case you could download something like knoppix, burn that cd
image to cd (you might want to refer to 'burning cd images in windows
xp' somewhere). Then just put it in and restart the computer, it will
then start from the cd, which runs Linux in your ram (doesn't install
anything), and it uses the OpenOffice.org package.
But all that is a hassle. If you feel unsure, just ask someone to help
you install it. It's not that hard really.
