Many computer sytems are not coming with software any more. Some come with trial versions that expect you to spend $100+ to upgrade to a full version. At the request of the computer club here in Florida, I did a little research to see what is available for FREE.
Many of us need a Word Processor to create documents and letters. There is an excellant "open source" Word Processor that very closely mimics Microsoft Word. It's GOOD. The program is called ABIWORD. You can download it to your PC in less than 5 minutes with a WI-FI connection. To get there go to:
http://abiword.com/
If you need a full blown immitation of Microsoft Office, consider "Open Office" that includes Word Processor, Spreadsheet, and a presention package. Go to:
http://www.openoffice.org/
Downloading is free, but it could take an hour or more at WI-FI speeds.
Both are FREE!!!!
Enjoy your travels.
