Wife surprised me this morning.
She told me that I "have to work inside today."
I have been doing yard work, and have progressed to the back yard.
UPS man is coming with a new Dell!
Apparently I have been known to bitch excessively about my existing computer, so she took the liberty of purchasing me a new one.
Now I am in the midst of deciding on whether to add the new one to our network or just park my existing, what software I want on it, do I go buy another monitor and run both or do a transfer, yada yada yada
One of my decisions will be regarding office software.
I have MS Office 2003 home business version. I also have the professional version but do not use it, but I am thinking about bagging all of that and going with Sun/Java/Oracle whatever OpenOffice.org
I did a (very) little research, and came across this:
"Does not work with Windows 7"
by 00mn on May 1, 2010
Pros: unknown to me
Cons: Will not work with Windows 7 on my PC
Summary: I downloaded this program. The next time I turned on my machine, my browser (Firefox) would not load from any source. Ran the trouble shooting tool to no avail. Uninstalled, restored and presto my browser was back and running just fine. I was attempting to run this on Windows 7 PC. It may work for laptops, but not my PC. Disappointed.
Anybody running 7 and OpenOffice.org? Did you experience this problem?
I like firefox and use it pretty much always unless some (rare) problem develops...
Tips, suggestions, etc. appreciated on any aspect of the whole "New Computer transfer XP to 7 etc. thing"
