I hate OpenOffice on my Mac Mini

I purchased a Mac Mini sometime last year to test a web site error. Initial startup was fabulous. Getting it on to our home network was easy. Installing Firefox was easy.

Now I am trying to install Open Office because it's free and is supposed to do almost everything MS Office can do.

This is turning into pure hell:

1. I went to the open office Web site to download the software.
2. It asked me questions I had to research and randomly referred to the OS version 10.4 or tiger.
3. Tried to install the software. It told me that X11 is not installed.
4. I go to Apple's site to find X11.
5. If find it and download it.
6. I try to install it, it says a newer version is on my computer.
   
7. I try to find it; it's not where they say it is.
8. I decide that it is not installed.
   
9. Finally I find it hidden on my OS X installation disk.
10. I install it.
11. Now I can install the application and everything works.

In the time it took me to install this application suite I could have earned the money it would have cost to purchase MS Office for the Mac.
