The weird thing is that there are some people out there who actually like the Office 2007 UI... I think I'll stick with my Macs and Linux boxen. -p -- "Unix is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are." - Anonymous --------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment there seem to be some interoperability issues between Open Office and MS Office, so its not the solution yet. If only I could persuade the rest of the world to use Open Office then that would not matter. I will do that after persuading everybody to drive on the left. Apparently the new version of Mac OS is going to be half the size of the current version, and much faster, and delivered ahead of schedule. They have some brainy marketing people over there. -- Regards, Richard. + http://www.FreeRTOS.org Designed for Microcontrollers.
