ThinkFree is web-based tool.
For seekers, who are “out”, this might be a way to get a “microsoft office” clone that wouldn’t require having your own pc or paying for software.
In my thinking, the baby turkey doesn’t want to start the computing trek right after getting nuked, by having to go buy a computer. Basically, they go from using their employer’s to having to select, operate, and learn their own.
(One reason why I tell turkeys who are “in” to address this need before they are put “out”.)
I’m sure that they take the easy way out — when they have so MANY other problems — and just replicate what they had at their employer. That drops a bundle when they can least afford it.
Anyway, ThinkFree could fill the niche for computing need without investment. For example, usually the local library, or any library, has internet access for free. And there are inet cafes around.
The money that a baby turkey would drop on a replacement of the employer’s desktop would buy many library or inet cafe sessions. Or, at the very least, allow them to buy the cheapest computer and inet connection.
For seekers, who are “in” and not delusional that their current gig will last for ever, this may be a solution to lots of issues. Want to write and send an email without leaving a trace on your work top? Want to send an email from your worktop with out using your employer’s email.
