Upgrading Cell Phone - Need Advice Life is Simpler With Principles
Apr 08

My DH is a ham freak. The electronic kind of ham, not the pig kind. He’s returning to it after years and is discovering the joys of open source software which is available for hams (hammers?). He’s also been mastering Google SketchUp for use on his building projects.

Our conversation went something like this:

DH: This open-source software is great! Why even buy software anymore?

Me: Well for most people’s uses it isn’t really necessary. That’s why I didn’t even bother to put MS Office on my laptop - I can get by with Google Docs or OpenOffice if needed.

DH: I don’t think we should buy any more Microsoft stuff. We don’t need it!

Aaah, the joys that comes when a neophyte realizes there is a world beyond Microsoft….
