antiaircraft Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have no idea what you're trying to say. On a random note, I just tried out OpenOffice.org and it's not bad, especially considering it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 What is that? Some kinda of game or sumthin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 It's a free office suite, almost as good as Microsoft Office. It's missing a feature here and there but so far I haven't found anything glaring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 And I still don't really get what you guys are talking about. XD Why don't you have Microsoft Word Usemaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 He prolly has XP Home edition, Home doesn't come with Microsoft Word. I have XP Home, but I have an old program called Corel Wordperfect Suite 8 to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have XP home, and I installed Microsoft Office on it, but recently I tried out OpenOffice and decided to switch (although I still left Microsoft Office on the computer so that my parents didn't go mad).

Myriad Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Haha, my computer doesn't even have Microsoft Genuine! It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 In the future if I need an office suite I'll just download OpenOffice instead of forking up more than US$100 for a Microsoft Office suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So OpenOffice is good? Worth to download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well if you need a word processor, it's fine, although whether or not it's worth it depends on your internet connection - it's a hefty download, over 100MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Luna Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Sheesh- you sound like you're flogging it! Erm, I mainly use XP Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well the main reason I switched to OpenOffice is because it's open source. GO OPEN SOURCE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Luna Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Could you explain what Open source actually is please? What is it like and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Open source software is software whose source code is made available to the public. That means that it can be worked on by the community instead of employees. This in turn means that developers (like me!) who actually use the software can get involved in the project and fiddle around with things, improving it and adding their own stuff which they actually find useful, instead of everything being done by a big company which THINKS it knows what its users want, but actually doesn't.

The Original Luna Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 So it's like the coding Neopets uses for its site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Nope - it refers to projects like Firefox, OpenOffice and Ubuntu Linux, where most of the actual making of the program is done by volunteer developers from around the world.
