(6 April 2020) As lockdown continues the tedium increases; having to shuffle out to the shops as I can’t get my normal regular grocery delivery while trying to avoid a small chance of catching a disease that could prove fatal.
Over the last year I have not been using the usual basic software for writing etc but online and freeware. It is all perfectly adequate for my modest needs but it is awkward, like being in a rented holiday home- you know the stuff is there but it is not in the place one is used to.
So, I recently (through an absurdly cheap legitimate online deal) acquired proper Word and Excel etc. It has been very comforting and using it has been like coming home.
Thus, thank you Microsoft, though people malign you your software does run over 90% of the world’s computers. (Twenty years ago, the United Nations could have created a universal freeware for this, sadly they did not seem to get my letter).
