I think the current situation _given OOo's current market_ is probably best, but _only_ because of the quirky customer base it's working into. Personally I'm still in the "kicking the tires" phase myself -- when I started my current gig I decided to go without Microsoft Office for as long as possible, just to see how long that might be. So far it's been 1-1/2 years. -------------------- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
