Hello Dave,
I am beginning to think *very* seriously about using a Windows computer
*just* to run MS Excel so I can get reliably and straightforwardly the hard
copy I need. Neither gnumeric nor kspread running on OpenBSD 3.6 qualify on
the basis of my brief experience with those two programs.
I will continue to use OpenBSD for accessing the internet, but my business
related computing/printing tasks may well have to be done on Windows.
I keep a Mac for that in my neighborhood, base is BSD, user interface from Apple
and Office is from Microsoft itself, very handy combination. Mac Mini is
probably the lowest cost solution for this.
Ignore people that don't want to understand that just to be polite you sometimes
need to see an Office file the way a sender intended. A sender who
understandably knows nothing but Windows and needs an answer and not a question.
And besides, a Mac is fun to study from a to Z!
