Hey Jerry,

And for those who wish to avoid the X11 environment and have an Office 
X alternative too, don't forget the pure Java application suite 
ThinkFree Office.  By default, it opens and saves word processing, 
spreadsheet and presentation files in the native Office formats.

We blow these out at the store for a whopping $25.  What have you got 
to loose!
