Avoid all this confusion and get OpenOffice.org

They just came out with a new version...

http://openoffice.org/

I have to open stuff that AppleWorks or ClarisWorks (v 2!) refuses to even
see in the open dialog listbox, so I have to use the older version of
OpenOffice (3.2.0). Does a great job without any MicroShaft apps needed.
