Will take a look at NeoOffice for sure. Although OO works pretty well.
Does act a bit weird using x11.
Will have to try those editors, my old Dreamweaver MX on my aging
laptop is getting a bit sad. Nice editor though.
Definitely aware of parallels to run both OS's but hard to swallow the
cost of the 2nd OS. Easier to replace my old software.
Thanks for your input!
