Open Office & Mozilla Thunderbird

An earlier thread gave me a kick up the backside. I've been using a legal version of Office 2003 since I bought it, but lately have been having trouble with newer Word documents. Used a trial version of 2010, and didn't like it.

The thread earlier got me moving, and I've now installed Open Office and Thunderbird. open Office looks good enough for my needs, but........wow..........Mozilla Thunderbird is a great piece of E-Mail software.

It's the easiest piece of software to set up.... ever!. Beats Office hands down. Just enter your E-Mail address and password, and it automatically detects your account settings and sets the account up for you. Handy when you've got 9 Googlemail addresses!!!!

Why Microsoft can't make it that easy is beyond me!!

Anyway, in a roundabout way, thanks for the earlier post/thread!
