Donald: I've looked around OpenOffice a bit, and I've failed to find a contact manager. What am I missing? The address book in Thunderbird is a great tool, but has no fields for actual snail addresses. Must I create a database in Base? Best, WJ Seidl

Which is to say, I'd rather have OOo stay as simple as possible, and use special-purpose tools for DTP, Database management, email, calendar and contact management, etc. Write, Calc and Draw are the minimum for an office suite. Impress is a good addition. Base is a bit much, since it has little to share with the rest, nearly as I can tell. Beyond that, the applications are far to diverse to fall within the normal "Office Automation" spectrum. It would be nice if they would all use and ODF, but that will take time, I expect.
