    Have any of you seen this:

    Very positive. Despite the catch line at the beginning, "its authors claim
    it can do most of what Word can", the reviewer had the rigth expectations.
    He doesn't denigrate AbiWord for not doing tables. Not only that, he isn't
    an apologist for AbiWord. He doesn't say, "Give 'em a break. There a small
    porject and if they'll get to tables eventually." In fact, he says that
    sometime he evens works in AbiWord and cuts and pastes into Word, when he
    needs a missing feature.

    He makes an unfortunate mistake at the end of the article when he writes,
    "Next up for the Abi wizards is a spreadsheet and a presentation program."
    It would have been nice if he mentioned the features the team is actually
    working on. Still, that's much better than mistakenly saying, "And it does
    tables and footnotes today!"
