    Sorry for the large jpeg but that's what you get for running in 1600x1200

    I don't think Office is anything to cheer about but then I have a high IQ.

    If it's just word/document processing you are doing then EasiWriter or TechWriter are almost certainly the software that you could only dream about. http://www.iconsupport.demon.co.uk/

    Well for people who like their OS to look like something similar to those pretty mobiles that you stare at as kids then fair enough. I mean that's what an OS is for isn't it, to look nice but to be about as functional as a rat's arse.

    One can of course "prettify" RISC OS if you wish but with little or no impact on the functionality of the OS and the software running on it.
