Re: [us-marketing] Kim Komando Show [newsletter] promotes LibreOffice

She rarely adds Mac and never talks about Linux.
I think she is a Windows only Gal since dealing with Linux issues over 
the phone on her Saturday "live" radio show would not look good if she 
stumbles through figuring what to do on which favor of Linux.

BUT, if you are using Linux, you are either using OOo or LO for your 
office package.

IT is the Windows users who needs to get good advice on some other 
office package than MSO.
