[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1188298, member: 190607"] Yes, I tried it soon after the first non-beta was released, which was only a few weeks ago. I really only played with the word processor because that's the only component that I really need. It is an impressive first effort. However, it crashes several times a day (without warning), which is completely unacceptable. I'd say that it isn't yet ready for prime-time, but that it is worth keeping a close eye on. Unlike all the other projects porting the OpenOffice code to the Mac, it is being backed by some big names with a lot of money and resources, such as BROffice, Google, Novell and Red Hat. I expect this project to soon eclipse all of the other OpenOffice projects. For now, the OpenOffice product that I would most recommend is: NeoOffice (free) [url]http://www.neooffice.org[/url] NeoOffice has implemented more features for the Macintosh: [url=http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_Feature_Comparison]NeoOffice 3.1.1 Feature Comparison - NeoWiki[/url] ...and in many instances is faster. [url=http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_Performance_Comparison]NeoOffice Performance Comparison - NeoWiki[/url] I'm looking forward to the day when none of us have to purchase Microsoft Office ever again. (Yes, I know that there are other very nice word processors and office suites for the Macintosh. But some of us need the extra features that only Office offers.) ___________________________________________ Randy B.
