+1 (I'm agreeing with Daniel - has the world gone mad?) If Open Office is taken, then go with, as Rick suggested "Open Office Suite" or "OpenOffice" or "Open Office Software" something specific to us, without rebranding entirely. A completely different name might not be good, but if none of the versions of OpenOffice without the .org will work, there are plenty of other good (probably better) names out there. Free Office or Freedom Office or Choice Office or Seagull Office or Flight Office or New Office or Office Select or Writer Office or Writer Suite or Calc Plus or whatever. OpenOffice.org is the name of a website, not an office suite. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
