The only way I can think of doing it with any certainty would be registered users. This could be simplified so the user would type in their own unique code of say 10 random digits and letters that uniquely identified their installation of OOo. If the code was already used, the database would come back and say try again. If its quick and simple to do and the button is visible always on the menu bar so it can be done at any time, its more likely to happen but still a lot of people probably wouldn't bother registering. It would be nice for the database to come back with "You are the 10,301,234th registered user, welcome to the OOo community" or something. > Stories like this are users that we can really count. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
