This person is using Windows 98, I think there will be some difficulty in adjusting them to Google docs. Enough that it probably wouldn't be worth it.

why not just pirate xp or something for them, that's possible to do right? At this point there's no reason to continue using Windows 98


maybe they have <200 megs of ram?

98 can run comfortably on 64; xp is painful with less than 256. sometimes you have good reason to make do with less.

DAIS, don't forget AbiWord. Google it! It's more efficient than OO.o, but more limited in scope!


abiword's not bad, but i had it crash on me and corrupt a document something awful one time.

openoffice is bloated; albeit infinitely less so than msoffice, though i'm going to have to agree with everybody suggesting google docs unless you specifically need powerpoint or something.
