Or BeOS.  I'm playing with that on a couple of systems.  Very nicely done.

He acknowledges its existence... that's certainly a step in the right
direction.   

I'd like to take this opportunity to inform everyone about Staroffice.
It's an office suite owned by Sun microsystems.   It can replace
Microsoft Orifice^WOffice and you can download it for free.  It
runs under Windoze and a few other things like Linux, OS/2, and
of course Solaris.   You can't beat the price.
