List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I find it interesting that there has been so much focus on the inferiority of linux. The whole thread started because a list member needed access to word files. (Oh damn, there is that need to deal with the reality that many entities rely on the software.) Then there was a desire to make changes and convert back. Two individuals seem to think there is never a reason to go back to word. That is fine. But then the poor people who are stuck with the need are just that stuck. Now perhaps the thread can die. Obviously some will never accept that not everyone can just dismiss word as a format they may need. That is fine. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
