OpenOffice.org For Mac OS X Hits 1.1.1 (Finally)

berchca writes "So it looks like OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X has finally hit 1.1.1 (for X11). They've also stated they probably won't do a native (Aqua/Carbon) release until OOo 2.0 is out, in late 2005 or early. Great work guys! Now I can get decent macros." I hope 1.1.1 has some speedups over 1.1.0, which works well but takes forever to start.

    the problem with keynote is that it makes all of the people who have never seen it before too distracted. What's that? Why doesn't my powerpoint look that good? How did you make it do that thingy with the cube! that was too cool! How come your inlaid videos work and mine never do? No one ever pays attention to my presentation!!! ; )

    the code checkout itself took an hour over my connection, and I only have a 500MHz G3, I'd be old and grey before it finished.

    You need a PC with the new Intel Quata-Speed Extreme Technology(TM). It makes the Interweb Faster!

    hahahah hahha haha hahhahahahahah

    i thought i'd be able to ask that straightfaced...

    sadly, though, i use microsoft office on my work pc.
    for opening word documents on my tibook i use textedit, but that's probably because i'm not doin much more than copying text from word docs to dreamweaver or something basic like that.

    Although, I agree that OO.org under X11 is not pretty, but does that matter so much?

    You've not met a lot of Mac users, I take it...

    Personally, I consider this to be the main reason for using Keynote. I also use my mobile phone to advance the slides using bluetooth / Romeo. Hardly anyone listens to a word I'm actually saying, which means I never get any difficult questions at the end.
