Mike brought up a Dell computer for me to use. This, however, is a dilemma for me. The Dell was his late grandfather's and it's rather precious to him. Our school's server is awful, and even without opening up strange emails, it's quite possible that at some point, there will be viral issues. To boot, I don't have $40 right now to buy a new Norton anti-virus so I can register it for the internet. In short, I don't want to use the Dell unless I absolutely have to.

My computer has stopped re-booting for the time being. It has not re-booted in a week. It is still on the slow side, but I can deal with that. However, I need a word-processing program. Microsoft word or works... WordPerfect... I don't care. I need something to write papers with and continue work on my novel, the anticipation of which is nearly eating me alive.

So-- what is the cheapest price that I can get a word processing program? Where can I get it? I'm desperate, people. Anything with a spell checker will more or less work.

My birthday present from Mike was something I've been wanting a long, long time.

My review:

Thumbs up. Way up.
