Office Wares for Mac OS X

I was just noticing that Neoffice 2.0 Beta 3 is out. For those of you who are unfamiliar with NeoOffice its basically OpenOffice ported to Mac OS X. Unlike OpenOffice it does not rely on X11 but uses the Java interface built into the Mac OS. I’ve downloaded this twice now and each time I find that the program is just really slow and bloated on my machine. I really just need a spreadsheet program to complete my Office needs and I like the spreadsheet program included but I get all these other programs that I don’t want. The best alternative that I’ve seen to MS Office on the Mac are ThinkFree Office and Mariner Software (Write & Calc). Thinkfree Office will run $50 while Write & Calc will cost you $50/each. I really prefer ThinkFree Office, its fast and easy to use and I haven’t had a problem opening a file. There is also and online version that you can sign up for. I rather the old fashioned version personally. There is also a port of KOffice for Mac OS X somewhere. I found a page that had libraries but could not figure out how to download and install this for the life of me. I think I’ll wait for some funds and get ThinkFree Office and once again Zap NeoOffice.
