    Might need a [2009] tag on the title tho. To be fair, back in 2009, Linux was nowhere near as compatible with Windows apps as it now is. The counter argument is tho, once she got back online, Open Office would have been good enough to do her school work in.

      Probably she would open one of the Word files on the online school website, and see that the formatting is broken enough to be unreadable...

      It depends on the complexity of the document, and we're talking OpenOffice from 2009, which wasn't as advanced in term of compatibility.

    Given that 'antfarm is the submitter of the story, I don't think they're complaining that it's from 2009, but clarifying, i.e. they forgot to put [2009] in the title.
