I run a home network with Linux, Windows XP and MacOS X. Linux is not 
my desktop, as I don't believe that Linux is ready for it. Everything 
has its place, and lets face it, MS has some nice tools.

Why do I use MS Word? I've not found anything that could replace it. 
KDEs stuff is OK, as is OpenOffice, but they're not Word substitutes, 
especially on MacOS X.

Maybe I'll look at replacements again, but I'm not going for OpenOffice.

If you want to try Linux again, but don't feel like facing the LUG, 
I'll help you ;)
