OK, I can understand the delay with Gnumeric, but Abiword? Heck, if I but knew how to spell programink, I'd give it a stab myself.

The lack of a DOC format is a hindrance, but -- as I explained in another post -- nothing that cannot be overcome by a simple USB memory stick and portable Abiword (see the thread "Make 770 Self-Reliant: Flash OS from 770" in the "2006 OS" forum). With a Google mailaccount I was even able to print documents I had composed on the 770 from any Windows PC that had a) a USB port, b) a printer attached and c) Internet access.

Portable Abiword can be found here:
