at home this is the way I go, too. But I have to travel to my client's place (by train!) and when working in the evening in the hotel room like tonight (as I have to leave the office building by 8 pm at the latest) it is somewhat inconvenient to take a second laptop with me. Yes - I will (again) contact SoftMaker trying to persuade them to provide an OpenBSD-version of their office suite. But they seem to have none with some decent Unix/OpenBSD-knowledge, just Linux. Sigh... Best, STEFAN
