Didn’t know about the native OSX version of OpenOffice – have been using NeoOffice until now. I’ll go and check it out.

As for not putting anything back, I gave some money to NeoOffice – doesn’t that count.

BTW – great ad.

More than half the web is served up by Linux servers. Google and Wikipedia use it exclusively to mention only 2 massive companies (in terms of throughput). IBM make server kit only remember, so in fact it rather has. Anyway I just liked the advert, which never came out over here. So are you upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) tomorrow? I think you should. And have you upgraded to OpenOffice.org 3.0? you clearly should as there is now an official native Mac version for you lazy Unix users who like to get the benefits of all our hard work without putting anything back into the community... ;-) How do you figure that?
