Document:
So far I have learned a lot about free software and internet resources. I put my hands on many but still think I need more time to explore further. Eg, for OpenOffice, I have formed the habit to use it whenever I need to process word. Besides, I found GIMP is a powerful image editor but need to explore more functions other than digital image resize. I begin to explore Linux, a thing I have long been want to do. I am excited about exploring all possibilities.
