Exactly. If I lived in the middle of the nearest city I'd have 100Mbps cable broadband. I'd also be paying twice as much to live there, have no garden, nowhere to park and lots of noise. I live out in the sticks where I get 5Mbps broadband

Wow. Maybe England would like to run the broadband to the rural areas of the US. I can barely get 1.5Mbps. And I only live two miles from town along a main road.

My local library has paper forms, but good luck to someone that isn't smart enough to earn $25 a month to pay for the internet on figuring out those instructions. I consider myself pretty intelligent, but I still need a computer to help me through filling out those crazy forms and checking for errors.

That's why you get on the internet at the library and do your taxes there. Duh.

I can only hope they can get Calc up to the responsiveness of 2007 Excel, especially in the area of charts and graphs. I'm a big fan of Libre, but when it comes down to interoperability between Word Processor and Spreadsheet, Word and Excel win hands down. Add to that the fact that Excel seems to do a better job with charts and visual representation of data, and that's why I prefer (for now) to do my scientific data processing with Excel.

Familiarity breeds attempt.
