Thing 18

Open Office is great! I haven't had much experience with it, but it seems very easy to use. I have used Google Docs. Once you play around with it, it's also pretty easy to use. But Open Office has so many more options. I plan to use Open Office on my home desktop computer -- it came with a 3 month trial version of a popular word processing and office tools software program, which has long ago expired. It seems that one advantage of using the free program is that you don't have to worry about expired licenses, not to mention expenses!
