Hello Mike,

Libre's wordprocessor and the spreadsheet would be a perfectly fine replacement
for my needs. But MS Access has become a central program for my biz.
Technically, I cannot work with a compatible.  And, along the way, I've grown
accustomed to some of the handy features in Outlook.

Otherwise, I would embrace the opportunity to walk away from the MS universe.
