Great. That reminds me of my selfie stick that can fly. I still have a video to edit from when I was out on the fields again and tried to get more of a glimpse of me on video when the selfie stick flys by.

But he does know his stuff - he's out standing in his field.

What for? They already think we are all dumb enough to let ourselves first be locked into a nice enclosure and then happily watch ads while eagerly waiting to 'adopt' everything their marketing throws at us at the first opportunity.

I installed Libre office for a couple of clients who didn't want ms office, and they're over the moon with it. It even has a Visio equivalent, where you can actually edit Visio diagrams.
Open Office? meh. It's fallen too far behind libre.

Yeah, I switched to Libre from MS Office a couple of years back, and have to say it's damn good - and it does leave Open Office in the shade.
Unlike MS, it seems to focus on what users want to do instead of what the developer wanted to develop and marketers want to sell ... i.e. cloud cr@p on a subscription model.

Exactly!
I, for one, will not be paying for any more mso licenses, not when the Libre guys are doing a so much better job.
