[QUOTE="meltbanana314, post: 65854"] I really like the Aqua-fied look of NeoOffice/J. It's [B]much[/B] better looking than OpenOffice.org on X11, but... I used to use plain ol' OpenOffice.org under Linux and Windows XP, and hated every strand of bloated code it was written in. I took forever to load up, it constantly crashed, it never saved my work... it ran just like MS Office on Windows 98. If you don't need to have a whole office suite, then I recommend Abiword ([url]http://www.abisource.com/[/url]) It's got native versions for OS X, Linux, and Windows. It also loads up in under 5 seconds on my grandfather's eMac w/ 128MB RAM (running Panther) - so if you need good WYSIWYG word processor that doesn't take half a night to load, you can't beat this. :mac: [/QUOTE]
