I have removed/replaced all Office 2007 installations around the various laptops, PCs etc in this house. It is shite!

I do get quite a lot of stuff for the magazine sent via email attachments ~ those I cannot open invariably turn out to have been created by someone with a new 'puter using Office 2007

A propos of nothing at all, i.e. not worth opening a new thread for  whistle:

Tesco's A4 Glossy Photo paper, 190gsm, box of 30 sheets... £2.91  eeek: eeek:  Less than 10p a sheet!

Have just printed out a large-ish presentation (in quadruplicate) for a meeting Thursday morning; I imagine each spread will be billed at around a fiver or part thereof...  razz:

You can download a converter that works well, from the Microsoft site.

I have a new laptop - to replace the one stolen by the masked bandits.

Toshiba Satellite L755D. Dirt cheap and very good so far - AVG, Sybot S&D and Firefox all loaded now, just have to dowload all the music and stuff I lost  ;D
