Yeah, I use a Windows login and One Drive, so my documents are accessible from any of my machines.sands of documents, currently using over 600GB of my 1TB One Drive. I also have documents, like the example I posted, that live on one hard drive and are never put on One Drive.

For the life of me I canā€™t remember what I signed up for. I may have to wait until the box comes to make my donation. Iā€™m sure it wonā€™t be a problem as Iā€™ve thrown a lot of overage through out the years at the co-op. As I will do again when the box shows

For those looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office check out Apache Openoffice. Itā€™s free open source software. It has all the same programs as Office without the cost. I put it on all the Laptops I donate to charity each year. :v:

Better than LibreOffice?

Freeware is the best. :+1:

Canā€™t say bud, I have never tried LibreOffice. I just know Openoffice works great and is free open source software. I am sure there are others out there, I have just used this one for years as I cannot afford Microsoft licensing for the laptops I donate and itā€™s not much use giving out laptops to poor kids for school if they donā€™t have the software they will need.

LibreOffice is updated and maintained better than OpenOffice. Other than that, they are nearly identical.

Well I donā€™t know, been using OpenOffice for years and never one problem so not had the need to look anywhere else. That said itā€™s great to have alternatives.

Oh. I thought I signed up for some of those before the last box

No worries, OpenOffice is great, and the two are forks of the same original project. LibreOffice just has a bigger team and more sponsorship now, which is the opposite of where things sat 10 years ago.

Super cool bud, I am glad @Gpaw brought it up. Always great to have more than one option, especially when those options are free. Thanks for the info.

Both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are forks of Sun OpenOffice which was an open source derivative of Star Office. Apache bought it from Oracle and replaced the Java components they had added to the original OpenOffice.org code base. Thereā€™s a nice timeline on Wikipedia that explains everything from Star Office until now:

Yes, you did sign-up for some. But, like @GrowingInThePines said. some arenā€™t in the fall box. Several of these are in the Spring '23 box.
@Zolorp is showing you how all those signed-up for are kept in a file.

Apparently i didnā€™t sign up for any of the above. :thinking:

Wtf happened?

Wasnā€™t there something else BEFORE all those? Did that all go away with MOTR?

For people wanting to check out sign-ups

I am not sure what you are asking. The spread sheet is @Zolorps. Nothing on this thread involves MOTR.

The ones I show on the sheet are ones Iā€™ve signed up for. Some of them will not make it into this box, but several of them can still be signed up including some that will not make it into the Fall box.
