The Mac support for OOo1.1.2 is great although it requires X11 to be running. Not that big a deal, since it's on the Panther XCode install CDs. And if you don't want that running, NeoOffice/J allows you to run OpenOffice.org1.1.2 without X11: http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php/
OOo 2.0 should work natively in Aqua sometime in 2006. Until then you need X11 to use it. It works, but it looks alot like running Windows/Linux on your Mac. There's also NeoOffice/J which runs a bit better, and is based on (I think) a Java implementation of OpenOffice.org1.1.2: http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php/.
What do you think of Mac OS X? Have you used it? Would you consider Mac OS X a 'version' of Unix? Would you consider using it as your main operating system? What do you loave about it? What do you hate about it?
That's why I only run Windows in a Virtual Machine... (the software for which Virtual PC happens to be owned by M$ double-d'oh!)... but is that my fault? $#!t! Does he have to buy^H^H^Hinfect everything?!
KPT (an Adobe Photoshop plugin) had a revolutionary GUI illustrating some of what you mention. Unfortunately, it wasn't as intuitive as one would hope, but, like anything after using it for a while you get used to it. Somethings actually worked more intuitively than others. Perhaps you should give it a look.
It was sold by MetaCreations to Corel/ProCreate, and you can get info here:
I've been a fan of yours for a few Split Infinities (Apprentice Adept)... I think my favorite was Tathum Mound, tho... Did your daughter pass the Archaeology class?

I also love the Forrest support:

(but beware that if you delete a style from the sample OOoWriter file, you can't get it back...)

A nice (albeit geeky--which fits the bill!) thing to add. If using my original question, please add this to Andrew's addendum to it! Thanks!

Ah well... I made the same comment to the Wired journalistas well...
Damn... Now we're going to be opened up to get viruses that attack BIOS!
will they sue these guys for having Unix as part of the Book title?

It reminds me of the MacPlus that served a real web site, with pictures & other links. BTW, It wasn't slashdotted for me...
