The time is
right to see if you can survive without Microsoft Office. A new
generation of
alternatives is cropping up from two directions: cloud computing
and open
source software. Read on:

I've lived without MS Office since StarOffice 5.2
So did I, but it was the first version of SO for OS/2....what ever
that version was. 'Course, my first was Perfect Writer and WordStar. ;)

My first word processor was PC-Write, at home and Wordstar 2000, at
work. I had also used an editor on VAX/VMS prior to that.
At least someone has used PC-Write.
Did you have to write a printer file so it would be able to do the proper
style controls? I had to do that at Elmira College (Elmira NY) in the
mid
1980's. Plus WordStar and a few others. I even wrote a better PDP/11
editor then the other college I worked at used. For those good old
days.
laugh, laugh, laugh
At lease MS was not as big then. We had PC Dos and other good stuff
that was not from big MS%$$%#
No, I didn't have to write anything, as there was a compatible printer
supported.
