Re: Life without MS Office

[Daniel Moran <xdagarwynn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm an Office guy out of convenience - but I've never been able NOT to do
something similar in either of the two.
(I usually use LibreOffice on my Ubuntu instance).

If they really want it, why not make them buy out of their own pocket?
Not to make it sound cold, but it's a preference issue more than anything.
If they prefer it, why put that on the company's dime?

Respectfully,

Daniel S. Moran
