It does seem like a scam that's for sure.  At work they are well and
truely in teh M$ camp.  Teams, Onedrive, Outlook and office are all we
use.  They do give us the option on web browsers though, we have Chrome,
edge and firefox to choose from.

On my home computers I use Wordperfect office 6.2 for dos.  The fingers
just know where all the keys are, and the spreadsheet math is all the same
anyway.  I will admit I have Libreoffice installed if I need to convert to
a modern format or if I need to deal with modern documents.

One thing we found about Microsoft was Andrea bought office 2016 on her
last computer and that's what she is used to, we were able to login to M$
and deactivate it on the old Dell and they allowed her to re-install it on
her new Laptop.  So at least they didn't jack her for $$$ there.

P.S,  Haven't had coffee yet, re-reading this I'm all over the place but
I'm gonna leave it so everyone can deal with my rambling mind.


.... I passed my ethics exam.  I cheated, of course.
