[X Newbies] expired MS office trial

[Zathras' Lackey]

Get info on one of the .doc files and change the "open with" to 
AppleWorks or TextEdit.  Apply that change to all documents.  Once you 
have *really* decided you're not going to buy Office, drag it to the 
trash.



Porcupines are peaceful creatures but God still saw fit to give them 
quills
