I think "OpenOffice" would be an alright name. I don't quite understand why we can't use it. Who owns it? I haven't figured that out yet. --------------------------- My understanding is that there is a program or company called OpenOffice or Open Office. I believe it was in the OOo FAQs. --------------------------- > But alas, my opinion was not sought, and that is water under the bridge. > Although I accept the necessity of including the .org on a legal basis, > I truly loathe having to include it in my writing and speech.

I have speech problems as it is, and those two syllables make a real difference for me. ---------------------------- I may do the same in the future. I've tried to include the ".org" as an educational "tool". But it is a pain in the neck. ;) Regards, Don -- DC Parris Matheteuo Christian Fellowship [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://matheteuo.org/ Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anywhere anytime! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
