ThinkFree

Since GeoCat's failure to work is preventing me from doing any cataloguing, I may as well push on with Thing 20. I'd never heard of ThinkFree or any other Office 2.0 product so it was good to learn something new. Once I'd finally got it loaded, it was clear it was much closer to Microsoft Office in appearance and functionality than Google docs. However, it was also considerably slower than Google docs and doesn't appear to have any natural integration with OpenOffice which are both big drawbacks for me when comparing it with Google docs but I'm guessing it doesn't require users to have a Google account so may work better for professional collaboration. Overall, nice, but I'm going to be sticking to Google docs for personal use.
