OpenOffice.org for Mac Delayed Two Years

Posted by pudge on from the gnashing-of-teeth dept.

Athyra writes "According to their Mac porting page, OpenOffice.org will not release a native version of their software for Mac OS X (not counting the X11 version) until 2006. According to the project timeline, no real development can happen again until OpenOffice.org 2.0 hits Windows, Linux, and Solaris in 2005. Looks like Microsoft's got a cozy ride ahead on the Mac side of things for a while."

    Americans don't know anything about their closest neighbor because they just don't care.

    Canada may be the "big time" in Canada, but in the U.S. no one really cares.

    Dear Apple,
    I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.

    with much gayness,

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

    Also, I really do not know why people seem to hate Quebec that much... also, you need to remember that just before the last referendum in Quebec (1995) people from all over Canada came to Montreal saying "Quebec, we love you". The truth is that I think Canada needs Quebec, and I'm not only saying this because if Quebec had left Canada there would be a big gap between Ontario and New-Brunswick.

    The presence of Quebec in Canada is about the only thing that allows canadian identity to be different from the american one. A simple example of this (I could give more) would be that Quebecers where the most opposed to the invasion of Irak by American forces, and the decision that Canada would not join them was taken by a Quebecer, Canada's prime minister Jean Chretien...

    As a matter of fact, I would really appreciate knowing why people dislike Quebec.. [/OT]
