I have never used it on a Mac, but OpenOffice is great. I use all of the applications on a regular basis except for Base. I often exchange documents with people of multiple different Office suites and have no problems with conversion. Most often this is between Office 2000 and then 2003 at school and OpenOffice 2.x (I haven't upgraded to version 3 and I've been using 2 since it was in beta almost 4 years ago...). Plus, you can't beat the price. It doesn't have every feature imaginable, but it has more than enough for me. I do some more sophisticated stuff too.

The cross does not give us a minor shift or two with regard to a few of our ethical and moral and religious values; the cross radically disrupts the very center and citadel of your life from self to Christ. —Albert N. Martin
