Open Office for the Mac

I switched to a MacBook Pro about a year ago.  A dirty little secret is that I do all my word processing in Windows.  I needed to purchase Office 2007  for a client project a while back and its price tag made the decision for me.

On the Mac I wanted an open source solution for quickly editing documents.  I know that Pages is great and Office for Mac can be ok at times but I already paid for Office 2007.

Startups, Scimatic and Uncertainty

The economy is in a death-spiral and we're heading for the Second Great Depression.

Well, that's what everyone seems to be saying. Bad time to be a small software company. Bad time to be self-employed. Start heading for the exits because les bon temps cessent de rouler. Maybe all of those things are true, but I'm actually pretty happy to be where we are right now.
