Honestly, if there was a single app that I'd immediately buy for Linux,
it would be MS Office97. That was the last good office suite I used
(and in fact I keep a Win98 PC around just to run it as win2k breaks it,
probably intentionally). I've considered crossover office just so that
I can run Office97. It was a good office suite. Then Office2k came out
and it was all downhill from there...
