And try to avoid punching up bathroom stalls. It's not good for you or the stall. Wish I knew what he was talking about but since I don't have access to a Mac I guess I'll have to take his word for the fact that OOo doesnt work well on that platform. Personally I have had no problems with the stable version (1.1.4) on Windows XP. I am quite thankful for OOo. It allows me to have a fully functional office suite on my home PC without breaking the bank. 2.0 beta is another story. Lets just say I've found it less than stable. But that's why it's still in beta. > -Alex Janssen > > Mike Nicolella wrote: > >> I was using version 1.2.2 of Open Office on my mac for >> basic word processing and spreadsheets and it was the >> worst software application I have ever used in my >> life.
