Apparently you are an "old" user. I have appreciated very much Windows
3.1. You should not be too worried about installing OpenOffice on the
hard disk. Besides, you might make mistakes in installing the software
on CD that you would not make in installing it on the disk (everything
runs automatically).
Your problems will be solved gradually : everybody needs some time and
practice before he feels comfortable with a new system and new software.
Your "18 year old high school kids" should TELL YOU what to do when a
problem arises - tell you and NOT do it for you. I know how frustrating
it is when somebody fixes a problem and you do not know what exactly he
did. So insist : you should do yourself.

Hi,
I Have been using Windows 3.1 for app. 15 years without Internet access and
been very happy with it.
However, my family recently bought me a new Windows XP computer with
Internet access.
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.
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?
Sorry to bother you with my problem, but I really am concerned that I might
"freeze" all operations on my computer (it did happen on my 3.1 - the only
thing I could do with the computer was play Solitaire; no letters, spreadsheets,
databases, etc. I had to go to a repairman to straighten out my mess; It was
time-consuming and costly).
Thanks for your help.
John M. Kelly
