[ILUG] openoffice.org

[Hunt, Bryan]

That goddamned Calendar and Task manager is the only reason I'm using this
windoze
crap at all on my desktop. I  was playing arround with openoffice again this
morning
(latest version) and I have to say i was stunned by how much the product has
improved, 
the last time i saw staroffice it was in version 6 beta/alpha or 5.*. It is
so much 
smoother nowdays, hasn't crashed yet and doesn't feel like it was written in
java anymore
(remember that rumour ? :-))

Yes, I know that Glen. I also know Evo supports IMAP as that's what I'm
using.
The connector is only needed, as far as I know, for using the calendar
and task management in Exchange. Other than that I don't believe there's
any need for it.
