NeoOffice is Mac OS X only, and is basically OpenOffice.org with
a native Mac interface instead of X11. I have used both on my
PPC Mac Mini desktop system, but prefer NeoOffice as there have
occassionally been problems with the X11 version on OS X doing
wierd things like losing the menu bar at the top under the window
decorations.
I am not a heavy OO user, primarily using spread sheets and MySQL
data sources to import data. The vast majority of my writing is
still done with vim writing DocBook XML (OO is supposed to
support DocBook XML, but I have never found it usable).

scum end up being extremely bad for business when there's working
