[G4] Open Office/Neo Office

[Steven Six]

That's right. I ran OpenOffice on a G3 iBook with 10.4, and I remember  
that every time I opened it, X11 would open first. I liked OpenOffice,  
by the way, and when I finally got MS Office I missed it. It was a  
little more user friendly, and still seemed to do eveything the MS  
package did.
