| More than 220 computers are networked at the civic headquarters. Officials 
| decided that the licence fee alone would run to a hefty amount and decided to 
| switch over to the open source alternative.

| A senior official said: “We are able to do pretty much all we want — write 
| documents, make presentations and maintain ledgers.”

| offering support for OpenOffice.org: "OpenOffice.org has becomep
| henomenally successful, Sun alone has shipped more than 70 million
| copies of OpenOffice.org 2.0," he said. "Out there, there
| are maybe 100 million copies of OpenOffice.org. It would be
| senseless to ignore that opportunity."
