This looks cool...more of a programming tool I think, but looks like it will 
serve my purpose. I'm not looking to draw, just to collaborate real-time on 
documents. Plain text is bare minimum, but will allow us to do the bulk of 
the work then one person can take care of formatting after.

I can't get Abiword to give me the option I'm looking for. It would be cool, 
cause the image support would be nice.

Thanks!
Nick
