this netbook has no word program, and it is very very wee. It has no cd drive for me to install from disc. Is there a good free word processing program out there? googledocs is fine and all, but i want to be able to work offline.

Used to do that at least three times a day when I was doing Work For The Dole. (I used to rebuild/refurbish old computers for charity. OO.org was a staple, since there's no way we could afford legal Microsoft Office.)

It seems good, so far.

I thought I'd miss all the shiny Office '07 thingies... but I haven't.

I loved Office '07's tabulated menus, but it became unstable and fucked up so regularly that it just wasn't practical any more. I think some file somewhere corrupted or something.

I actually hate all Microsoft Word versions after 97, and so I just keep installing it on my computers (the disk hasn't seemed to notice that I've installed it on like 15 different machines.). But this computer-- no disk drive! WAAAAA!
