I'm playing around with NeoOffice. So far, it compares favorably to Word
Yea, there were some problmes with 'X' on OSX laptops, if it was running when the latop went into suspend sometimes it the laptop could not be woken up. NeoOffice was a nice addition my wifes PB.
Im using gnucash on my mini (which has to run through X) and gimp..
