Despite the pleasant sounding words on this page, eric's emails and offense at me even mentioning NeoOffice, and the continued insistence that I give "equal time" if not complete worship to, the Mac OS X11 team, prove that "we" in fact *DO* have argument with NeoOffice, and DON'T wish them the best in their efforts. And here is the reason why I will not promote, support, condone, advertise, or push in any way any end user to even think about trying the X11 port -
Whats wrong with the X11 port? We have been uisng it and there has been no problems, unlike in Neo Office. The "growing number of questions" is a direct result of removing the
NeoOffice links. People had no problems installing NeoOffice when it was there. But since they removed the links, you get to see how damn hard it is to install X11 for a Mac End User. Even if someone had tried to download and install the X11 port, upon failing to get it to do anything other than jump up and down in the dock for a few minutes - they would return to the Mac OS X page, and download NeoOffice, which, of course, worked just fine.
I fail to see how installing X is very difficult, its in the installation cd. It took me less than 15 minutes to install everything all together. Neo office does not deliver the same product as OOo. If it were not for the X11 port I would have had to spend thousands of dollars on MS Office 2004 for our the mac minis we're using just so that we have a decent office suite. I tried Neo Office, but I did could not do what I needed (which is very basic stuff mind you). Charles
