[Greenbuilding] Get a puppy and help save the environment!

[David Bergman]

Oops, I just realized I mistakenly thought this thread was on my CAD 
forum! Sorry 'bout that and ignore the first sentence below.

--------------------------

The primary reason I've stuck with Windows OSs is DataCAD. Almost 
everything else could be handled open source.

I played with Open Office before installing Microsoft Office on my 
new laptop. I found it was OK for basic things, but fell short in a 
few areas and sometimes had compatibility issues. (If I recall 
correctly, opening existing Powerpoints didn't always go well.)
