Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Mac people

EK  - I've used OOo X11 on Mac, neooffice, OOo aqua and LO. As mentioned below, I do not try to use 
them on same login as too much trouble. I am still a little leery of OOo v LO, especially since 
apache announcement - I use LO but have kept OOo on clients machines. There are issues with special 
to Mac (in fact there was a recent posting about one Alex and I discussed, which may not get 
resolved simply because the role necessary is vacant.....) but as Tom said most OOo/LO issues are 
cross platform
