NeoOffice - OpenOffice.org for the Macintosh is available.
OpenOffice for the Mac has been available if the user is willing to install X11. It works, but it certainly does not feel Mac-like. In October, NeoOffice was released for the Macintosh, and it included all of the new OpenOffice features.
The folks who have worked on this point out that the program is offered for free, but, “the cost and time spent on NeoOffice are trivial for a large corporation, but they are very large for the two people that operate the NeoOffice project so donations are used to help pay for NeoOffice cash expenses like bandwidth, machines, and webhosting fees that we would have to pay for ourselves.” If you plan to use this, please consider a donation.
In addition to the trinity of office programs: a word processor, a spreadsheet, and a draw program, there is a database and a presentation program. The database looks very similar to the one in OpenOffice. and that one looked at least as robust as MS Access. We’ll see.
