What type of data are inputting?
Why do you need a different OS
OpenOffice is free and is a good replacement Microsoft office.
What is bad about being crazy?
Most of my input is personal journals, personal history and genealogy, not only for myself but for other people as well. There are also a lot of business letters and family photos.
There are journals from about 20 years ago that need to be scanned into the hard drive. In other words, lots of paper stuff.
Using Open Office. It takes getting used to.
