Open Office is sooooo cool. I needed this in my life.We were given a computer by a friend and it has some oldness goin' on with it. I think this will really help with some of the applications that we were having problems with. So, my question is, does it allow you to use it as an internet browser, like instead of Windows ? Is the answer to the question really obvious? If so: I'm sorry.
I think that this is very much in accordance with the general philosophy of our library. We are here for the people. We provide free public computers and it is only befitting that we could, feasibly, use a software suite that never cost anyone a cent.

Lemme see if i can help here...
ReplyDeleteWindows is the 'operating system'--the 'core' if you will--without an operating system, your computer would be useless. did you mean Internet Explorer?
Internet Explorer and Firefox are both web browsers--'software' that allows you to get on the internet. There are a ton of other free internet browsers, like Opera, Chrome, Flock, etc.
OpenOffice and Microsoft Office are 'software suites' for word documents, spreadsheets, etc.
If you need a new operating system, there are open-source options like Linux and Ubuntu.
If you just need an internet browser that's not related to Microsoft, (i.e. sucky Internet Explorer) just use Firefox or Chrome.
Hope that helps!
