|
| When I bought my laptop it didn't have word nor did it come with a word CD. I don't care if it's a 2000 version what are my best options in terms of getting it on my computer. I do use Sun systems, but it is still slightly a hassle to keep on saving it in different versions to deal with the lack of having Microsoft Word. |

| Don't worry about it. Just go to www.openoffice.org and download their free suite of programs. |

| Why don't you just download MS Office 2007 from the torrents? |

Torrents for MS-office 2003 or 2007.
You can probably (99% certainty) get a copy for under 20k won at the tunnel or outside the terminal building at Yongsan.
Open office is a LEGAL and FREE alternative and it allows you to open and save as an MS-word file.

It never ceases to amaze me when people come here, in the year 2008, 11-12 years after file-sharing started, and ask where they can get software. 
Or those who don't want to download because it's illegal. They baffle my bonce too. |

I do have open office. However, if you are working on several drafts with a friend who doesn't use it, it is not so convenient. I tried downloading from my friend's server in Canada, but the connection was lost.
I don't really use torrents. I downloaded a version of Word from Limewire, it didn't seem to work. I may try going to Yongsan unless I can find a version that works off limewire. Anyway, don't you have to burn it on a CD after you download it from a site?
I have limewire. I just downloaded. I have the free version. I did download something that said Word 2003, and it didn't work, and sometimes this free version doesn't pull up any files. Is there a better file sharing site?

It's not like I don't have it, but it's more convenient to have word. I will look at yongsan after payday and ask around. I tried torrent, but
I am concerned about trojans. If you are working on several drafts of essays and someone is helping you and they don't have Open Office, it can be a little bit irksome, because you have to make sure you keep saving it in a version they can read it in. Open office has served me relatively well, but I need word....I suppose I will go to yongsan the following weekend. I haven't used torrent much. I have limewire is that the best thing. I haven't really used it. Sometimes it does searches and sometimes it doesn't. Is it because I have the free version? |
Limewire will work but you have to screen the crap out.
Where are you located. Would a trip to Seohyun station be too inconvenient for you?

I am in Ilsan. I can get to Yongsan no problem. I will go there after the 10th of April when I get paid and get me a CD version. Where is Seohyun? I am sure I can find it on the map. Heck, I am used to traveling on the metro. I went all the way to Gaerong before from Ilsan. Traveling 1 hour and a half is no big deal for me. Why do you ask? I have no problem using a file sharing thing, but I haven't used anyone besides Kazaa with success, and I had a paid version of that.
Thanks... |

| Do you have Skype? Myself or someone else could just send it to you via file transfer. |
