openoffice is a free word processor!

Thank you anon! This is very helpful. 🙏

Their website is openoffice.org

So now I know of two two options for free open source programs, this and LibreOffice. It looks like both branched off from the same open source roots about a decade ago, according to wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org. And both include the same suite of programs as MS Office, including a word processor (Writer) and a spreadsheet program (Calc), which are the ones I’m most interested in.

Here’s an article I found comparing the two: itsfoss.com/libreoffice-vs-openoffice/ (It’s just what showed up at the top of my search, so I make no claims about its accuracy.)

‘Spud!’

[DOS] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1996]

When the fiendish Doctor Chillblane revealed his wacky plans to conquer the world nobody laughed! At least not when he could hear them anyway. So it was, that late one snowy night Spud's Grandfather and his amazing magical toy making machine were spirited away - very noisely, by a huge gun totting mutant reindeer!

And now it's up to SPUD to rescue his Grandfather and recover the toy making machine to prevent Doctor Chillblane from enslaving the world with his cruel tyranny!

You play the part of SPUD - a street wise kid, who has to travel the world from pole to pole running a gauntlet of strange creatures such as...... manic penguins, crazed pixies, paranoid polar pears and death breathing dragons..... in order to complete his quest within this amazing cartoon adventure. ~Steam
