I suggest you test it before tossing your real computer. I suspect that 
despite Steve Jobs hype the keyboard could be ah... a little interesting to 
use for real applications.

Generally open source app's require several users wanting to port the software 
to their hardware of choice for it to happen. Sun Microsystems as the major 
developer of OO.o may not be able to join Steves glee club if it's balance 
sheet is anything to go by.

BTW "... wondering if you were planning..." - the 'you' that _you_ have 
contacted is a mailing list primarily composed of die hard users, not so many 
developers. So the above tongue in cheek opinions are my own, and are not 
representative of either Sun Microsystems or OO.o developers. The correct way 
to raise a Request For Enhancement for most OSS projects is to add the RFE to 
the bug tracker system and see how many votes it gets. GLWT
