Think of it as buying a service. You are not really buying the product, you are buying the convenience of having it packaed in a CD for you. Microsoft charge around $35 for a media kit here in the UK. That is just a CD, so buying an OpenOffice.org CD for $5 is somewhat of a bargain ;-) -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
