The major obstacle to wave, google docs, etc for usurping MS is who controls the data... at least from a large corporate company's perspective. If I'm a Fortune 500 company I don't want to be at the mercy of Google's servers and my ISP, let alone trust them with me data and IP... even if it can save me money by firing my IT staff, I gladly pay a fortune keeping them around to insure my IP stays mine, on my servers, under my control. If google can port docs and wave and other tools to apps/servers that can stay behind my corporate firewall on my *protected* intranet, then maybe it could replace MS... but still a long shot.
Also, the set of people > 65 is also much greater... a % would be a little more applicable. I do find it interesting the poster's assertion that the cause is self evident (pensions)

Ok, so a someone who wants government funding says to ignore critics of the government... sounds like we should listen to her...

So, if you're already manning an outpost in Alaska, and you screw up, where do you get banished to from there?
If you can't find it in a DIL (or DIP) then digkeyhttp://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksu s.dll?Criteria?Ref=33490&Site=US&Cat=34079261 sells adapters. Many manufactures will also send you a few samples of chips for development work, they generally send you ~5 of any sub $15 chip for free (including shipping). Maximhttp://www.maxim-ic.com/ is one of the best for sending out free samples quickly, but analog deviceshttp://www.analog.com/, and just about any of the others send out freebees as well.
