I am a power StarOffice/OpenOffice user.
I've been using this platform since the late 90s.
You could say it was as far back as when StarOffice was just a glint in Marco's eye.
(that's a little bit of an inside joke for the old-timers, who remember the save early, save often motto.)
;-)
So nothing pleased me more than to hear the latest news that IBM...
has joined ....
the OpenOffice.org community.
Really great news.
Get Jonathan's take on it in his blog.
It's all good.

From MSNBC...
By 2009, 14 million workers will not be driving into the office.
It features Sun's take on the story through the lives of the employees who live it.

The Washington Post has mistakenly printed my home phone number in the classified section for a Help Wanted advertisement. My home phone number is listed as the fax number for people to send their resumes if they're interested in applying for a job as a building mechanic.
THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.
I can't even tell you how many times I've called the Post and asked them to put a "Do not print" on my home phone number. Every time they tell me: "We're so sorry. There's nothing we can do. The paper has gone to print. Please accept our apologies. It won't happen again."
Then it happens again. And again. And again6.
Last time it happened I wrote a letter to the Ombudsman asking for help.
No response. No avail. No relief.
I don't know what else to do short of hiring a lawyer. Maybe if a lawyer sends them a letter they'll stop.
The phone rings at all hours of the day and night with fax machines.
It's a complete nightmare.
