one thing i liked about open office was that you can save as pdf without printing workarounds, which is always nice. although i agree that in general, i've never been that impressed with it. just copying what somebody else is doing is never a great strategy.
edit: looked at screenshots. still less than impressed. has a '5 years old' feel to the interface. MS going to the ribbon really screwed open office over.
then again, you're probably using a mac and can do that anyways.
something that has saved me immeasurable time with cover letters and resumes recently.
i suspect we may be in the same boat fanin80. i'm a former comp sci major turned marketing. got tired of windows and tried ubuntu. couldn't get my wireless card to work reliably (at the time) so I bought a macbook and never looked back.
