Well, as I said before, I'm new at this and I expect to have to learn a lot. Like what happened to my picture in the profile? I had to reinstall my system software yesterday (had to get X11 installed in order to use Open Office 2. Maybe that had something to do with it. I know these web pages have to know where to look to find something, and probably something changed along the way.

That's one thing I love about computers—they show the fallibility of the human being. Computers only do what we tell them, so if the result is wrong, it is usually the human's fault, not the computer's, although we do have to allow for hardware malfunctions and software glitches, just to make problem solving more difficult. Those who can say, "Maybe I made a mistake" will get back on track much faster than those who can't.

Open Office seems really cool—all kinds of features for free, and NOT Microsoft! But there is a learning curve and the tools, at least in draw and database, are not intuitive. Resources for learning are not easy to find, at least so far. There is an extensive help file, but the terms are not explained. But maybe it's just my ignorance. I've only been working at these machines for 25 years or so.
