I can use a virtualizer easily enough but my usual reaction to Windows is typical, if unprintable. KDE I can manage easily enough but if there is a Mac OS X binary that's pre-pre ready, I'd be game to give it a spin. You can send me info offline, if you like to preserve peace. BTW, Calligra is overall quite nice—a great job of coding and management. If I get a copy of the Author for OS X, I'll also be comparing it to Scrivener, which I've come to rather like for DTP, though of course, I am most comfortable with AOO. Cheers Louis
