Re: [OT] Re: [libreoffice-users] Linux alternative

Hi :)
I'm sure people on this mailing list might be happy to help with 1 or 2
questions about how to do a certain thing or 2 in linux.  Such questions
often turn out to be quite popular threads even though they are a little
"off-topic".

I think a lot of people take a similar route to me.  Even now i still use
Windows occasionally (admittedly usually only because i'm forced to or
because someone doesn't know how to use it and/or has broken it).

I suspect that most linux users have a dual-boot somewhere with an option
to boot into Windows.  I think it's something that almost everyone does
somewhere near the start of their journey into linux land.  I guess what
i'm saying is that i suspect that linux usage is always growing so fast
that most linux users are fairly new - that certainly seemed true in the
Vista era and maybe early in Win8's era too.


Err wrt "In most instances, all an argument proves is that two people are
present." i don't think that is true at all.  I have often seen people
disagreeing with a position they were recently adamant about.  For example
my boss orders me to do something.  I do it.  Then he tells me off for
doing it and claims he'd never had said that.  I've also found myself
arguing with myself too.  I'm not sure if an argument is possible even if
no-one is present but it wouldn't surprise me.  ;)

Regards from
Tom :)
