The subject is read first, and the content than. a good subject makes a half of a good post. This subject is at least misleading. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined.

You/One can usually tell when a bad message subject has been created improperly, ie first, as in this case. This subject indicates that Saxman wanted to have a little ranty about OL and (then, subsequently) ask about a freeware alternative. Office was on his mind when he created the subject first. I think that if he had written the subject last, it might have reflected the freeware request better, eg Freeware for Office? or Open Office? -- Mike Easter

Last time I looked it had got quite good. Doubt it will replace Quark real soon though. OO has a presentation application. Depends what you do with it. Why not give it a go. OO Base is OK for simple databases. I use it, with a MySQL backend. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you. You've been targeted for denigration!
