Congratulations on a fine new product - looks nice.

However, from my opinion, it has little new functionality.  I was 
really hoping that some of my suggestions from the summer would have 
been put into OO3.  Now if OO3 Pro has this, I'll buy it in a 
heartbeat.

What I was hoping for was to use OO3 for my task list.  It can be used 
for such (and always could), but a few keys were missing:

1)  be able to "unwrap" the hierarchical list during sort.  I want to 
be able to do this:
								Priority
		Project A
			Task a1				Today
			Task a2				This week
			Task a3				Next week
		Project B
			Task b1				Next week
			Task b2				Today
			Task b3				This week

could be sorted on the priority column to:
		
			Project A:Task a1				Today
			Project B:Task b2				Today
			Project A:Task a2				This week
			Project B:Task b3				This week
			Project A:Task a3				Next week
			Project B:Task b1				Next week

In other words, I may have several "order something" tasks related to 
different projects that I may like to do at the same time.

2) We need the ability to hide "done" items and re-show them.

I recall emailing back and forth with a gentleman in the summer and I 
was REALLY hoping that this type of functionality would be in OO3.  
Like I say, if it's in OO3 Pro, I'll be the first in line to purchase.  
If not, then my search continues.

Thank you,

Phil Butler
