Open office writer will save files in the following formats; MSword (95,
97, 6.0), RTF, Starwriter, HTML, and of course text and native. I'm almost
certqain that MS word also supports rtf. You can also send the doc as a
PDF file or document.
I don't know anything about Corel Photopaint, but I just downloaded the
linux version. It's huge though. Want it? I'm going to delete it.

Again, many thanks. I cannot foresee my using Linux just at this very
moment, but I will not dismiss it totally, specially since I have just been
retired and will have masses of time in my hands to try out anything and
everything computers and the Internet have to offer. The work I do demand
that I go along with the "mainstream" platforms that others use. Our elder
daughter has been a staunch Mac supporter, but after 10 years' working in an
office where no one else has a Mac, now reports that she will have to defect
to PC. I am looking at what newegg has to offer to buy her one for her
birthday. As for your offer of PhotoPaint, it was very generous of you, but
I'll stick to this one I'm using at the moment - Corel 13.

I am fully aware of the advantages of using Linux (and Mac), compared
to
Windows, but I do a tremendous amount of work with MS Word and Corel
PhotoPaint, and these have to be assessed, approved, and published. No one
in this network of mine uses Linux (nor Mac), and people who are pressed
for time don't look favourably towards having to convert files into
another platform to view and work

But it's perfectly ok for them to spend endless hours chasing down the
latest viri and trojans out of their windows computers?

: in the days when I used the Mac, they
would simply send the files back and asked me to convert them to Windows
before forwarding the files.

What format was that? OpenOffice under linux or windows does a pretty good
job of leveling the play field with Microsoft proprietary file formats.

With due respect, my associates and I do not - repeat, do not - "spend
endless hours chasing down the latest viri and trojans" out of our
computers. We assign that to Norton - yes, Norton. I am aware that there are
those in this newsgroup who do not feel that Norton is doing a good job.
That's alright, we all have the right to choose which programs we want to
use, and as far as I am concerned, Norton does what I needed done.

I have no doubt that they do, but like I pointed out, I am open minded
about these matters, others weren't. The moment they saw that I had sent
them anything in Mac format, be it a spreadsheet, poster, or what-have-you,
they saw red and became furious - the very same way some Mac users tend to
do whenever the word "Windows" is mentioned. It was almost like talking to
some hard-headed Republicans about Democrats. I have to use the computer for
my work, and I discovered that it was best for me to have a machine that is
in line with the mainstream of those with whom I work. I have no doubt that
there are advantages of the Mac or Linux over PC, but that didn't make my
working with the mainstream easier by going against the flow of the current.

Well, why did you send it in a mac proprietary format? I mean that was
pretty dumb if you knew they ran windows. Still, there's no reason for
them to become furious. This could have all been avoided if you had used
Linux since it can send files in the format of your choosing. That's the
point. Anyone that sends out files in proprietary format when a global
platform format is available is a moron. I got so tired of getting .doc
files for newer win office suites that couldn't be read on older office
suites that I finally emailed all my vendors and informed them that I
would no longer accept text files in a proprietary single platform file
type. And I ran windows at work. For them to expect me to go buy a newer
Office suite to read text files is just stupid. But. if you don't mind
gettting played by the MS group, have at it. Stay with windows. I couldn't
care less how you spend your money. Now if you worked for me, well, you
wouldn't for long.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa ! Please bear in mind, I'm talking about
something that happened 7 years ago. I wasn't even aware of Linux, and my
enthusiasm for the Mac made me invest in that OS. I am somewhat wiser today,
having spent a helluva lot more time in front of the monitor and tapping
away like mad. Well, what openings for a job did you have in mind for me?

Hi, Wes Linux is ok, but windows is easier to use for most users. How would
you like it if someone always jumped in your Linux conversation and promoted
Windows.... its borders on off topic...

Hi, Wes Linux is ok, but windows is easier to use for most users.

In test I've conducted with non computer users, all have preferred Linux
over the Windows environment. While most could get Linux and apps
installed. Most couldn't even get the base windows systems installed
properly.

I've never gone to a windows ng and trolled. But just read some of the
linux ng's infested with wintrolls. Besides, check the group name. This is
a hardware group, for the discussion of the hardware and not OS's, so any
in depth discussion of any OS is off topic. And lastly, why bring this up
now, 2 1/2 months after my orignal post, where you told a guy that wasn't
looking for a place to buy Windows, but only test it, where to buy it.
that's not really a question. Just pointing out the absurdity of your post.

LOL! Did you sell them a bridge too?

Re activation,

Does MS keep tabs on the activation number during win update, so that they'd
know if someone were to, half a year after installing XP, install it again
on another pc using the same activation number without abandoning the first,
or do they just throw out the number after a few months?

I'm not positive, but I believe you have to wait 120 days. After that,
changing to a different computer shouldn't be a problem.
