I was just looking into downloading OpenOffice - as that's what I have

use for Several years now. Thing is, I got a new PC setup here - and I

can't find any install files for OO. I started searching the web for it

- and found a Wiki that stated "*Active successor projects includeApache

OpenOffice <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_OpenOffice>,LibreOffice

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice>andNeoOffice

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeoOffice>.*"

So - do most people here suggest sticking w/LibreOffice? I know this is

an OLD Thread - but, since I found it in my email folders, since I was

looking for OO - I figured I would follow-up on it here & get some feedback.
