Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice 4.0

       and that's the reason I've been praising LO  :-)
           as well as Gizmo's site - verified, tested programs for any
computer.

       The best publishing programs, ... can be acquired through Gizmo's -
and no worry re. having to re-purchase if the HD should die  ;-)
           these in combination with LO is all any laptop needs ...
               and many folks have switched from the desktop PC to the
laptops;
                 actually many of these are now switching to the even
smaller hand-held devices -
                    [ I'm so far not interested in swapping from the
lap-top  ;-) ]
