Lotus has always been a compact and efficient office suite, and I've been using Lotus 123 since, let's see, 1988!

Equally important, is the breaking news that Google has added a presentation software to its online suite.

Google Presentations launched as part of Google Docs & Spreadsheets... or now just “Google Docs,” as some of the logos already read. If you have a Google Account you can go start a presentation by clicking New -> Presentation, or by switching to the Upload tab to convert an existing PPT file.

Simultaneously, OpenOffice 2.3 has also been released today. End Of Post
