If your kids can find their way around Office, then can't find their way
around OpenOffice, then they shouldn't be using the computer at all.
Seriously.

You are making an issue out of something that simply isn't an issue at

Firefox/Konqueror/Epiphany/Galeon/SeaMonkey/Mozilla/Opera/Netscape
because they have already learned IE, right?
