I've been using iWork and NeoOffice/J extensively at school and work. I usually have the best luck using iWork for environments where I can take my iBook G4 to present, print, etc. from. When I have to share with windows users or use windows machines to present from, I find that NeoOffice/J works best with the least formatting issues. I think that for the price iWork is a bargain. NeoOffice/J is well worth the download also of you have a good broadband connection. That way all your bases are covered and you can peacefully co-exist with your windows co-workers, family members, etc. Just my $0.02 Dennis 'Sky' Thompson
