   HG>Hi Daryl,   
      
   Hi, Holger...   
      
   HG>I'm no fan of either M$ or Google. Most applications I use are either   
   HG>freeware or registered to me.   
      
     Same here...hams are "frugal cheapskates" (hi hi).   
      
   HG>The latest aquirement is SoftMaker Freeoffice for my laptop.   
   HG>On a sta   
   HG>tionary machine I have LibreOffice and in the OS/2 machines   
   HG>StarOffice. I will replace StarOffice with LibreOffice later.   
      
     I had started with OpenOffice, but recently put LibreOffice on the   
   main computer. It still works with OpenOffice created files, but it's   
   taking some getting used to. Either way, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are   
   FREE -- Microsoft Office charges BIG BUCKS.   
      
   HG>After the fifties I lost interest for Louis Armstrong but I still listen   
   HG>to old recordings where he still had something like a song voice.   
      
     I prefer either classical music (Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Brahams,   
   Mozart, Tchaikowsky, etc. -- I could listen to piano concertos or solos   
   all day)...or "big band and swing".   
      
     My late wife, upon hearing the "rap music" laced with profanity (it   
   has gotten far worse since she died over 12 years ago), lamented "if   
   that's music, we're doomed!!".   
      
   Daryl, WX4QZ
