That's fine for those of us on high-speed links. And I like to have the full release archived "just in case" a roll-back is needed in future (as nearly happened going from 2.2 -> 2.3). But what about those on dial-up lines, or who for some other reason have difficulty in downloading? Is it fair to tell them to keep buying CDs from someone to get the new release? /If/ (and I don't know the figures) they represent a significant proportion of the likely user community (present /and future/) will this update policy impact unduly on the market penetration of OOo? -- http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
