I use this daily.  It's really come a long way.  Opens Excel/Word/Powerpoint stuff and saves them back without a hitch.

Open Office is fantastic! My only issue with it is it does do some silly stuff... Like when I write a formal letter... in M.Word you begin to type "To whom it may...." and it will offer up To whom it may concern;  Open office offered up "To Whom it may consolidate  ???
Maybe the have fixed it or will =P

My girlfriend is very Asian, so I get to poke fun at her Engrish.  However, if I try to speak Tagalog, she just laughs at me and says, "Talk to the hand!"'

Honestly, that www.engrish.com website is totally hilarious.  There was a few I picked up when I was in Korea I was aching to submit.  heh.

lol, yeah they are funny  :P  My mother messed me up for life though... for the longest time I thought Dink was the past tense of Dug when my mother would yell about how my dog dinked her vegetables  :-\  That of course is only one example of how messed up my vocabulary got as I was growing up ;p And mixing up the order of words is genetic or something...
