I meant being out-of-date with regard to /Hebrew desktop
applications/. We're fighting for /desktop users/ not for
sysadmins or developers (they /know/ what Linux is if they live
on Earth). So let me ask you again -- are there applications that
can serve as close replacement for Microsoft Office Hebrew
Edition?
We should prove that one doesn't need to buy everything from
Microsoft to make sure his daughter can submit her annual work on
history at the school. Personally I am sick of MS Office, but it
does most of the things your average Hebrew speaker wants from
his/er home computer. And it does now. And what it produces has
acceptable quality. If we want to convince others we must be
prepared to answer these questions.
