Great. Unfortunately IBM's force you to register before you can download. The registration process is stupid and after you finish getting your IBM ID, you can't login in.

Typical large DUMB company. It is Free so, if you want people to download, let people access it.
I am feeling very frustrated. Looking for it on Bittorrent sites.

Based .. not the same. Fair bit of clean up.

I'll post a review on Friday if I'm not too hung over on Thursday.

NeoOffice sucks. It's like a London minicab. Clunky, weird, "not quite right", and often crashes. I use TextEdit (free) or Google Docs (free) for writing now and Adobe CS2 (worth the $4000) for everything else.
