I've now been using this piece of software for several days with absolutely no problems. It is simpler than Windows, which some people would not like but which I absolutely adore. Openoffice is the writing and spreadsheet package and it is more basic than Word, although the last version of Word I got (2007) was so hopelessly fussy that this is a blessing. Whatever the very minor limitations of the new software I am still basking in the warm glow of a computer which actually works and which hasn't done anything daft in the entire time ubuntu has been working.
I am still peeved to have lost my old e-mails but this was almost certainly down to a faulty first installation rather than a serious fault with the software. In the first failed installation it asked me if I anted to migrate over my e-mails but them it went belly up. The second time I installed it the message didn't come up.
Hey ho, I can now cheerfully ignore a pile of work which had built up so every cloud has a silver lining.

You have convinced me, where do I get it?
Go to http://www.ubuntu.com/ and follow the instructions. You need a basic grounding in how your computer works but its not rocket science so most people should have no difficulty installing it. It also loads initially off of the CD you are advised to burn so you try it before you install it.
