Well done PaulT

Why buy office? If you're a business that is pretty much based around office documents and your customers expect it then there's maybe a reason. For home use, forget it, there are plenty of compatible alternatives. With Apple kit you get their office suite and for Windows and/or Linux there is Open Office or Libre Office (and yes I use all of the above in different flavours on assorted desktop/laptop setups). All of those can be used locally without a cloud connection which I find rather useful since i am often out and about and don't have a decent connection. OK you can't sync across multiple devices but if that is a concern then for non-private documents I could always use a cloud storage that doesn't report everything to google or whoever and just open the document in a local application if I have remembered to upload it beforehand. If I didn't remember then tough, it couldn't have been that important.

Hi Darren and welcome

Well done Phil

Welcome Thomas

Hi Nick and welcome. Pull up a chair and get comfy

That is a lovely view and well captured. Congrats on PotW

Indeed, a stunning picture and a worthy PotW,. Well chosen, Kate.

Hi Karen and welcome from just a bit east of you. There's loads of helpful and knowledgeable (and daft in a good way) people on here who will be happy to help in anyway they can.

mmmm coffee and cake... sounds good to me. ooh and welcome from just a bit south of you, although I'm often to be found lurking in the Cambridge area.

Welcome Jo, I was going to attempt to greet you in Italian then saw you were originally a Londoner and breathed a sigh of relief. This is just about the friendliest forum you could wish for and advice and opinions are always freely given (along with the occasional wisecrack) so sit down and get comfortable..

Well done indeed, that's a little beauty

An up to date one of me (taken last night), I'm the one with the black and white shoes!

Hi Mike and welcome from down south
