Just a few words here... The Openoffice Aqua is still only an alpha
version, - not even a beta.:-)

but when this said, I can only say that the last build of OpenOffice 3.0
Aqua is running very, very stable on both OS X 10.4.11PPC/10.5.2PPC as
well as on a MacPro with both 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.

It is more that three times as fast as NeoOffice and more than twice as
fast than both MSOffice 2004 and 2008! - And until now i haven't had a
single 'unexpected quit' with the last two builds of OOo3.0. - Also the
fonts handling is quite a lot better than in NeoOffice and MSO2004/2008.
- I have apprx. 1550 fonts active in my main set, and apprx. 23.000
fonts on the HD - all 100% managed by Linotype Fontexplorer.

So now printing with quite a lot of various fonts and various typefaces
within the same font is just like a dream, though the OOo crew still
tells us that printing can be a problem.:-)

So what can't we expect, when first OpenOffice 3.0 Final is released? -
Mmmmm.... I can hardly wait.:-)

cheers, Erik Richard
