Glad to hear that they agree with me! I'm increasingly conviced that there are free programmes for all general use and that they are better insofar as they don't have so many useless, space- and time-consuming 'bells and whistles' as the commercial programmes. You don't need to look far, even the basic Word has become a massive programme which can do almost anything - if the user only knew about it!
