Is there a chance I can get in on it? I'm seriously debating coming up to Edmonton next weekend thru Monday, and if I could, I'd love to get my hands on some culture.<br /> <br />... apparently kefir eases lactose intolerance, and I'd be happy to have the protein.

I'm wary, though, given the work-atmosphere I'm in, that I'll need *more representative* software than Open Office...<br /> <br />I'll spend some time next week playing with it though.

I've been using <a href="http://openoffice.org">Open Office</a> exclusively for years now, it's free, and it's completely compatible with Office. It even has some additional features that Office doesn't such as exporting directly to pdf.<br /> <br />[edit]<br />Actually I think it's more compatible with Office than Office is. I distinctly remember in MS Office if you were given a document that was created in an older version than the one you were running then you couldn't open it, Open Office has all formats covered.
