You probably won’t find a nationwide chain of coffee houses to replace Starbuck’s, but there are quite a few local establishments that are very nice. When I lived in Orlando the answer was Barnie’s Coffee & Tea, for instance. As for Microsoft, this week I found a suite of programs called FreeOffice that can replace Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It’s from a German company, they are wholly compatible with the older versions of Microsoft Office (before 2007), and you only have to pay for them if you want a version 100% compatible with today’s Microsoft Office. Now if only we could replace Windows. Maybe Linux is the answer there.
Great! Thanks for that information. Now if we could just find (or start) alternatives for the NFL...I miss football!
I have substituted several local coffee shops for Starbuck’s in the cities I regularly travel to or through. Now, if I could just get mrs riverdawg to stop shopping at Target ...
Dunkin doughnuts. Coffee is much better than starbutts.
