Quote - Anything containing the word 'trial' could be likely removed; since that means it's going to remove itself after a few weeks.
You could get Open Office, which is to Office as Gimp is to Photoshop; workable, free, but depends on what you want as to whether it's 'for you'...

I don't plan on using this Netbook for much other than to cart around with me to waste time when waiting for things like appointments. So basically it will be for email, watching DVDs, playing hidden item type games and bugging you guys!  ;)
 

EDIT:  Speaking of bugging you guys!  I've never had a wireless connection before.  What's the secret to getting a wireless connection outside? I automatically connect when I'm at home, but when I was outside yesterday and checked for wireless connections I saw lots, but I was asked for a code, which I didn't have, every time I tried to connect to one.

My cell phone works inside and out without me having to look for connections and enter codes when outside.  So how do I do the same with my laptop?

Based on what I see on TV or commercials, all I should have to do is open the lid and turn it on and I'm connected to the internet.  But that's not happening.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
