I saw the beta of StarOffice 6.0 at the January Linux Expo in NY and I
was extremely impressed.  I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable price
for this office suite, if it does what the version at the show portended.
Why do you want everything for nothing?  If a program is worth something,
why should you not pay for it?  How much work do _you_ do for nothing?
