[plug] online office suites

[Jason Nicholls]

G'day all,

I bought the latest issue of APC magazine and there is an article on "Online
Office Suites". Up until now I wasn't aware such a thing had been attempted
yet but I was wrong!

For people that are interested take a look at:

	Free Desk: http://www.freedesk.com/
	 NuoMedia: http://www.nuomedia.com/
	ThinkFree: http://www.thinkfree.com/		(Editor's Choice)

Since they all use a web browser as the app platform (using Java) they should
all work under Linux. I took a look at the ThinkFree Office web site and they
even have information for UNIX/Linux users. Quoting from the site:

	UNIX/Linux Users: 
	Native office productivity applications for your workstation. 

	 - Free word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics software 
	 - Send and receive cross-platform e-mail attachments 
	 - No more blue screen	<------- Huh? 
	 - No more rebooting into Windows 
	 - No more emulation 


Later,

Jason Nicholls
