Ubuntu is very user friendly if you just need to go online and use OpenOffice and that kind of thing.

Yep. But then when you add the other things I’ve used for decades, not so much. BTW, our first copy of openoffice worked great until suddenly the entire text entry area became a single collumn to the left. I dumped it and went to an older version of Office after that.

I felt it was good enough that I recommended it to my “cheap” friend. Meanwhile, I’m not much better. I’ve been using the free “starter” version of Office on my home machine for quite a while. I’ve made business cards, graphics for my bands, not to mention text documents without missing anything. Even without the ruler. I think they accidentally made it too robust. ;-)
