Open Office

I have 2 computers in my house.  The one I'm on now which is about 4 years old and the one downstairs that my kids use that is about 8 or 9 years old.  I only have Microsoft office loaded on my account and not the kids so I figured Open Office would be good for the.  I downloaded it to the computer, boy did that take a long time probably about 45 minutes to get it to load.  Had to change thier accounts to administrators before it would download properly.  Of course it doesn't tell you that until after you tried it for 30 minutes.  But it does seem to be working out.  I'll update as I'm progressing.  I think this could be useful for my kids at school also.  I'll get to tell them about it in a couple of weeks.
