My Migration from Open Office to LibreOffice

My memory is failing but this much I can remember by going through an assortment of over 800 CD/DVDs having various applications, software and operating systems.

1. I started using OpenOffice of SUN Solaris in Windows 98.
I had some problems with Office of Windows and it was mainly due to macros.

2. OpenOffice removed macros of MS-DOS documents.

3. I got my thesis confirming to our university requirements.

4. I bought my first computer.

5. It was booted with Windows.

6. Having finished my thesis I migrated gradually to Linux using Linux floppies.

7. I bought an assortment of IBM (14 or 15 in number I cannot remember) second hand computers discarded from USA.

8. Installed Linux distributions on all them except 3 (Windows).

9.  I weaned myself of Windows totally.

10. I did all my books using AbiWord.

11. I am doing my first book on LibreOffice.

12. Could not do pre-printing final editing due to constant power cuts.

13. Currently enjoying my life without Internet but YouYube on my cellphone.

14. Enjoying my usual cup of tea.

15. Fully off alcohol and I do not pay tax to an illegal president and an unpopular government.

16. No politics untill (waste of time) the parliament is dissolved and the next election engine is fired.

17. I have no objection to the guys trying hard on the streets of  Colombo, at a difficult time.

18. Next election is fought on empty stomaches and angry mouths.

19. Average citizen has awaken to the reality of dumb politics.

20. While this is happening President Putin will rule with Ruble.

21. Dollar will crumble and with that, the sleepy Joe.

22. Bolton will be down and Trump in ascendancy.

24. Alternative TV channels will come up with true, not doctored news of CNN, BBC, and the lot.
