Catamites Unite

I would just like to thank Wayne for making me roll round in fits of laughter. Alas my education to date has never come across "catamites". Now that I have, I am determined to use the word at every possible opportunity. My only disagreement with Wayne is that I would extend his description to encompass the politicians as well as the bureaucracy.

Have any of the commentators used OpenOffice?

For the majority of users moving from MS Office to OpenOffice the cost of retraining should be low. You get different icons for documents, spreadsheets etc., but otherwise the look and feel between the two is very close. There are some quirky differences, but nothing to stop deployment.
