Just my opinion, and a comparison of what you get and what it does. Just cause Mandrake is half the price, does not mean you get half the stuff.
in fact, if it makes anyone feel like they got a better deal, I will be happy to sell them a powerpack 9.0 and a years silver membership in the mandrake club for the low low cost of (lets see... 9.0 powerpack and shipping +/- $ 79.00 silver club membership 120.00, so round it up and add a little for me, $242.00 US (cash only) and we will make a donation for each "clubpack" purchased... just joking... go to mandrakestore.com and/or mandrakeclub.com and get the deals yourself > > -----Original Message----- > From: et [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, 03 October, 2002 12:31 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [expert] OpenOffice.org vs StarOffice > > On Wednesday 02 October 2002 08:14 pm, you wrote: > > Hi All, > > > > This question isn't about StarOffice versus OpenOffice.org features. > > This question is about the interoperability of the two.
