Thanks for posting this–many people don’t know that OpenOffice.org runs on Windows, and even fewer know about Mac.

Mac users are a bit more graphic arts-oriented than the public at large, so anyone interested in that angle should check out the Draw program. File > New > Drawing. It’s dandy.

Nice tip about the Staroffice download. ;>

Thanks to you and Martin for the links. I would not have found the beta without you. I got OO running this morning and it seems to be doing a really good job. Now I just need to install the GIMP, which shouldn’t be a problem.

Thanks.

Hi, I came across this from your diyplanner site. I just had to comment on the title of your blog because it’s so similar to mine–The Typing Monkey, and I thought that was odd.

Now I am might have to change mine because I feel derivitave. :p

Pavel Janik (who does OpenOffice.org builds for languages that Sun doesn’t support) has just uploaded OS X builds of Release Candidate 2:
