What a joy. I still suck. KOffice is one such. I was prompted to this by Tom Syroid . Tom has converted one of his computers away from the Dark Side, and is beginning to experiment with StarOffice himself.
First impressions are often wrong.
I hope so in the case of StarOffice. I want to like this package. I have used a small fraction of the functionality so far, and will post a more complete report at a later date. I was kind of surprised when I was able to open and run a Powerpoint 97 presentation, and it all worked right, including the transitions and animations.
