I have Microsoft Works that has a word proceesor in it, but it's not compatible with sites that you need to upload a Word document such as a resume.

Is there a free alternative to Word that I can download?

I also have WordPerfect that says it's compatible, but it really isn't. It makes some funky changes.

Tried to go to Open Office here at work for our travel laptops but the Access analogue just doesn't work with our old .mdb files for some reason. But for Word and Excel functionality I'm all over it and I usually view open source software like the e-bola virus.

why?

edit: if I were you I'd avoid Access like the e-bola virus. ;)

I don't like the fact that if some software tool that one of my techs downloaded hoses my network there is no one to sue. Just a total lack of trust in it in a business environment.

I'm less opposed to it on people personal computers, but I want software that comes from a vendor that has a real support staff for the environment that pays my mortgage. Ive been to too many wikis for open source that read like this place does.

Well sys admins always hate open source, there's no one to yell at. :)

Open source nerd fight! *Gets popcorn* :lurk5:

Trust me, I never argue open source with someone who has to deal with non-techies. As a developer I LOVE open source, but you can't argue with lack of good support(even if it is costly it usually pays for itself).

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
