There's nothing worse than having a main router fail on your ISP and having download speeds on par with a @#&^*%$^ 56 K modem. I pay for high speed DSL, but, our download speeds were terrible last week. The ISP took their sweet time replacing the router. Grrrrrrrrr. Heh-heh, I'm not addicted to the Internet...................I just choose to go on-line....................a lot.

Yes, abiword is very nice:-) However, I believe abiword has compatibility issues with MS Word.

Hi Mike, That is a very happy looking family you have there, Mike:-) Thank you for sharing that with us.

Yes. Agreed!! I've used OO for a few years in windows and in Linux and it is an excellent replacement for M$ Office. Like Bubba Bob said it is perfectly compatible with word docs.

Thanks for the frank review, Joe! I'm very sorry to hear that you've been hosed by that company! I'll never buy their product after reading your account. One would think that a company would go out of their way to foster customer loyalty. Odd corporate behaviour.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, good one, Liz!

Heh, I thought I was in heaven with DOS 5.0:-) The good old days:-) Yes, XP is a good operating system if maintained properly.

LOL I've been using Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (beer) for quite some time to help me cope with the work virus. Funny stuff, marty.

Happy Birthday, LiXindi!!

Actually, I do have OO (a friend gave me the CD). I had it installed once, but there were a number of conflicts with Word. When I tried to open Word documents, it wouldn't do it, or skewered them. I did some reading and found that others were having the same problem. In fact, one guy posted that he used Word on his computer, and his wife used OO on hers, but they couldn't open each other's documents. There seemed to be an attitude then of getting M$ to make Word compatible with OO. I'm wondering if maybe that hasn't happened? I haven't had OO installed for about a year, but do still have the C

You may wish to consider using Open Office, it is a free Word replacement. Open Office is compatible with Word, you can open, save and create Word documents with it. I've used OO for several years. OO works just fine with XP. Open Office

Thanks, Carnevil for the commands make install clean. That works like a charm:-)

I recently finished setting up my dual boot Slackware 11.0, FreeBSD 6.1 system. Here's what I did. First I re-sized my sda2 root slackware partition. I did this by booting my computer with an Ubuntu 6.06 CD then re-sizing the partition with Gparted which worked flawlessly, creating room for BSD. I then used Gparted to create another partition. I then booted my BSD install disks and installed FreeBSD 6.1 to the newly created partition. After the install I booted into Slackware and modified my lilo conf, then ran /sbin/lilo Here's my liloconf: # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /b
