A slow, buggy, hard to use, Windows application (as redundant as that might sound!). :-( I REALLY wish they would get the native version going. Open Office on Windows is rather nice and usable. On OSX it's really an unabashed kludge right now. If Apple is serious about releasing more software on the Mac, I would suspect that this is a great start. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
