Why do we need OpenOffice? When we have..

Amiga Writer! It only needs a bit of work IMO. It does everything I need it to do personally (which isnt much).. and it can load some MS Word documents. Check out the demo on www.haage-partner.com . It runs fast on my Athlon 1.4GHz running WinUAE.. I'm nearly foaming at the mouth at the prospect of a PPC native version for OS 4.0.

Maybe it would be an idea to buy Amiga Writer, or pay Haage&Partner to work on it, like Apple did with Claris Works. Rather than waiting for the market to pick up again. The market wont pick up again until we have key apps which the masses need (such as word processors)..

Hmm okay you bring up some good points. I think Amiga Writer has its place though, for letters, CVs/resumes, course assignments.. But yes you're right, OpenOffice sounds like it has a lot of definate advantages.

Hey, its well known that you have a developer AmigaOne.. I've been wondering for awhile, do you code? Or did you just want to beta test it?
