No problem.  Thanks for your help!

Here's what we've got.

It says "X-Server with 800 x 600 or higher resolution with 16.7 Million
colour"

Please replace this line with "X11 required.  Available for OS X 10.3 on
Apple.com <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html>and
for OS X
10.4 on the OS X install disc.  Here are instructions for Tiger
users.<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229>
"

In case you can't see the links, they are

for OS X 10.3 on Apple.com -
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html

Instructions for Tiger users -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229

And then add this line:

"800 x 600 or higher resolution with at least 256 colors"

Also, could you make it where each of the system requirements has "colors"
spelled the same way - either colours or colors, I prefer colors, since the
rest of the site is in International English - but as long as the page is
consistent.  And at the very least make sure they all are plural.

I don't know if there is some reason why the Mac version would need
16.7million colors, when every other version only needs 256, so I
would make it
256.  I don't know of any Mac that can run OS X that wouldn't have millions
of colors, but that's no reason to make it look like you have work harder
for OOo on Mac than on other systems (which, of course, you do, since they
require X11, when Carbon and Java are included, and - as NeoOffice proves -
can serve the same purpose better than X11...  but that's another story).

If you could make those edits, I'd appreciate it - and the project would
look better.

Thanks!
