Lesbian Fiction ForumThere are two new software out that I am tickled about.
First, OpenOffice.org has officially released OpenOffice.org version 2. I think that is like, you know, cool. It is M$Office's main competition, something that no one thought would happen. OO.o will do everything Office does, only better and like, you know, for free. It has alternatives to Word, Access, Powerpoint and Excel. It also has a built in html editor and graphics doohickey. It also has this big math thingy but hey, it says Math and that's as far as I got. 
On the one hand I bad mouth Microsoft, but on the other hand, I like their games. M$ is crappy when it comes to OS and the like, but their gaming division is on the alleged ball. Zoo Tycoon 2 now has its first expansion pack with the Endangered Species. Just released, it adds in some parts that are similar to the Roller Coaster Tycoon games but without all the barf. I have Zoo Tycoon 1 Complete Collection (marine, dino and etc) of course. I have or have played several other MS games, such as MechWarrior and Roller Coaster Tycoon.
And in case you want to know, and frankly, why wouldn't you, I also have: Black and White, Zeus, Pharoah, Home World, The Nations and Recoil (which is by far my favorite but my CD died!). These are the ones I keep in a hard case here on the desk. Unfortunately, because of space, only ZT2 is on the laptop. I have other games on the rack across the room, such as Majesty Gold and Traffic Giant.
So yeah, I am thrilled about the OO.o because now I can now make all my WIP files in one format (vs the 1.4 format and all the betas). And I am thrilled about the expansion pack because now I can procrastinate using that new downloaded OpenOffice.org.
