Just discovered two online tools

• VectorMagic: Raster to Vector image converter from Stanford Uni
• Snipshot: Image Editor does basic editing tools like crop, rotate, resize, etc.

So there. Who needs expensive software that requires complex dowloading and installation?

"IBM throws weight behind OpenOffice"

Thus reports Lawrence Casiraya of Inquirer.net.

Here are some excerpts:

"IBM is contributing significant technology that will help make OpenOffice more accessible to those with disabilities," the statement said.

"In addition to actively contributing to and participating in the community, IBM will also include versions of OpenOffice in its products in the future."

Should be good for an ultimate move towards Webtop or Webware.
