Hi
If you want macintosh penetration then dump x11 - do it "naive mac" or
go away.
Oh. At this point I'm inclined to take the 'go away' option, but I'll
here you out.
Most mac users dislike Microsoft office to change for the sake of it,
but when one has to down load yet another another piece of software to
make something work, then it is just not worth it.
You're right. It's ludicrous to think that people should have to
download stuff for free - especially when you don't actually have to
download it, as Apple provide X11 on their installation CD. Someone
should be fired for this, and I'll see what I can do.
X11 is ok, BUT many mac users are sick of pc's so much that anything
that resembles the nonsense of trying to make something work by
downloading "yet another piece" of software is very, very, very annoying.
Oh. I think this is the same point you just made, but I'll point out yet
again that X11 is on your installation CD, and if you find it so
annoying to install things, then maybe you should get someone else to
install things for you. Try to drop the caustic attitude before you ask
them though.
Dump X11 - make it native Mac and you will automatically get Mac users.
Thanks for the assistance.
There is a native OS-X port of OOo, but it's the 1.1.x version. From
memory, the native OS-X port of 2.0 was dropped due to a lack of
developer interest. But maybe you can give them a prep-talk and get them
to deliver?
