AbiWord 2.2 for Mac OS X

[Ed Sutherland]

Hi Clint,

I agree with on all these points. I nearly live and breathe MS Word and 
for all of its detractors, it does a great job of following the Mac 
guidelines on look-and-feel. From time to time, I venture into the world 
of open source programming (I use Firefox more than Safari and still 
haven't given up hope for Thunderbird), but continue to rely on 
mainstream commercial software.
