The guys at OpenOffice.org aren't going to be getting an Aqua port out soon:
August 18, 2003: Development of OpenOffice.org 1.x on Mac OS X has been limited to X11. All development of Quartz and Aqua versions has been postponed to OpenOffice.org 2.x with expected delivery in late 2005 to early 2006. See the timeline for details.
 
For basic word processing I use Think Free.
(Sounds like a feminine hygiene commercial)

I have a year old version, no good with complicated tables, but it works with .doc fine.
Its java based. You can load it on a windows box and a mac.
Cheap. Basic. Good enough. :eek:
 
I use Office v.X because those are the files that I recieve most form clients. But for personal use I am looking at MarinerWrite. It is much smaller and more efficient than word -- and costs less.
