There are only 10 types of people who understand binary...

"Scandisk" used to work really well on 3.11!  My old 386 used to run like a dream after a quick scandisk followed by a cheeky defrag...those were the days...

Anybody fancy answering a particularly annoying Excel problem I have come up against? No? Thought not  sad24:

I have an Excel question though ~ why the f*** is it included in Office Suite. I don't want it, I don't need it, I'll never use it. Why then do I have to pay for it. Same applies to "Publisher" Don't want that either .... but all PCs come with Works 8 installed and f*ck all else except some cack "security" that will cost me and arm and a leg to renew in 15 months time. I don't want this shite! All I want is Word but to get it I have to buy the preloaded Works (never use it) + the security features (which I uninstall in favour of AVG) Explorer and Outlook Express which I don't use (Prefer Mozilla)
and then the B@st@rds want ?200+ for Office suite 90% of which I don't want.   cussing:

When I started out on this path ("Working" from Home) I sent all sorts of stuff to people I was researching with and to a man/woman they sent my emailed attachments back saying they didn't have Works (whatever number it was) It seemed that having a new PC I was in advance of whatever their employer was providing at that time. I got so p*ssed off with these repeated requests to "Convert or save document as a Word Doc and resend it that I ditched Works and have worked in Word ever since. For this reason I currently have an old Office Suite 2003 in all my machines. Well those as will work it. The reserve PC (now relegated to the boys as a vehicle for their Reader Rabbit series etc) is still operating on Windows 95 so does not want to accept Office 2003.

We send everyone everything as a pdf. Then it doesn't matter what it is written in.

I suppose to some people, I fall into this category whistle:

Trying tucows.com, all sorts of stuff there, some of it free.
There also some "office suites" that are MS compatible.

Yes, you can get a free pdf reader but not writer?

I use pdf995 (google it) which is cheap and excellent? Linux comes with one built in.
