Java and Open Office 0

I just got a Java update on the Windows box.

It came with a link to “Free Open Office.”

I declined the link, because I’ve been using Open Office for years. In fact, a link to it is over there

on the sidebar.

It does everything Micro$oft Office does at an infinitely lower price.—It’s a free port of Sun’s Star Office 6 to the Open Source Community, where it has been upgraded through open source collaboration.

Given how may Windows users have Java on their computer for surfing the web, I find this a very clever way to raise their consciousness of the Wonderful World of Open Source.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
