It has been reported extensively elsewhere, but I admit to being surprised: StarOffice meet Star Wars (on www.zdnet.com
). Don’t get me wrong: StarOffice is a fine piece of work – I have been testing version 3 several years ago, and found it different from a classical *Works or *Office, but certainly not less capable, friendly or stable. But it’s not every day that a large entity (can’t call it a company) decides to follow through on its need for multi-platform solutions.

It has been almost two hours now that I’m surfing and scrolling around Macs Only! (www.macsonly.com
). Don’t try to get more praise from me than that!
Even USA Today writes about the new iBook, in Updated iBook is bound to impress (www.usatoday.com
).
Yet another iBook review, from someone who wrote about all things Macintosh before I even owned one: iBook, once tested, shows touch of elegance. Bob Levitus now writes for the Houston Chronicle (www.chron.com
