Yeah yeah, I know..I can’t stop myself from blogging!

Just a few observations:

Office 2007 SUCKS big time if anyone out there plans to do some upgrading. All the commands on top bars have disappeared, replaced by tabbed commands with huge icons that you cannot get rid of. I do not oppose change, but it’s like replacing Google with AOL – from easy command-based settings to whistles and fanfare of icons,pictures, hover-over description and all that crap. Seemed to have been created for a beginner Office user who otherwise would’ve been like a lost lamb. Unlike XP where you are able to set views back to classic views, plugins are needed to ‘transform’ office 2007 to 2003 – AT A CHARGE. Not to mention that documents are now saved with a .docx instead of .doc extension (there is no way to automatically modify this as well) and 99.999% of the population will be unable to access your document unless you manually specify .doc,.xls ect.

(I just realized that this is the first time I actually had in my hand an official,original Office installation CD. Even though I actually remember Office 95, which makes it more than 10 years since I’ve started using Office.)

So I have now gone over to StarOffice. Open source is amazing.You can even save it as .doc. Happiness

I have also been converted on to Firefox. Its like a brand new world – or a new pair of rose-tinted glasses.It’s like….OOOH NOW I UNDERSTAND.

Part of my new role is website content management ala blogging. HOW COOL IS THAT!

Ok, enough of sounding geeky like hell…back to blogging working
