THE hancom office you bought for 50 was not a final release.... ============================
True indeed!! But, then again, neither is the SO 6.0 *beta* that I've been using ;o) =============================
maybe the fault is not with hancom but with microsoft excel you see, you can judge an application on the fact the microsoft documents don't open, microsoft puts great effort for that to happend
================================== Yes..., that's why in my last posting I did allow that w/o the import/export issue we can judge both SO and HO on a more even footing. But for me, as an educator, those filters are essential for me. Although a small (but thankfully growing) number of our students use Linux, the overwhelming majority use M$. If they forward me essays and papers to edit or comment on, I have to be able to import and then export just about flawlessly (with my comments in red ;o) ). SO has been doing that for me for several years now. As an administrator I must deal with dozens of secretaries, assistants, and other administrators *ALL* of whom use M$ (I'm the outsider here and I refuse to dual boot; I've been suing Linux exclusively for almost three years now and SO has really made tha possible). I do agree that Hancom is a very nice product. It does some things very impressively and is noticeably faster than SO 6.0 beta. But for my specific needs, right now, SO is more functional. I've downloaded all of the upgrades thus far for HO, but I don't think the *final* version of 2.0 Professional has actually been released yet (they had told me two weeks back at the end of January, but I think all contractors use that as a standard wait ;o) ) At least the Linux world gives us CHOICE, no??? <g> Best, Mike -- "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." --Benjamin Franklin
