Its not the most flash website in the world but it does work. Tell
your six friends to go to the above link then
- Click on 'Get OpenOffice.org'
- Click on 'Download OpenOffice.org'
And the the latest Windows version of OOo will download.
What is difficult about that?
I decided to test out today what Gary (OP) had said. I am using a Mac
PPC. After clicking on Download OpenOffice.org I was taken to a page
saying "you are about to download ..." and then I was switched to a page
that says:
Download Chooser
The download you have chosen is not available.
Please use the BACK button to return to the erroneous page or go to
Download Central <http://download.openoffice.org/>.
For the adventurous there is a form
<http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/download-form.php> provided with
no guarantee that any of the listed versions is available.
If I were an average software user just wanting to download and install
this suite, I would look elsewhere and probably never come back.
Especially given that last sentence!!

Everyone seems to have missed the point! I clearly say that
this will download the latest 'Windows' version. Below
'Download OpenOffice.org' it clearly says:
'Click to start downloading OpenOffice.org 2.3.1 for Windows,
(US English version)'
Below that it says:
'Get more platforms and languages'
This is what someone with Mac PPC needs to click.
Oh yeah, I tried it, just because I am curious and it really works!
Honestly, it requires a lot of clicking and also reading what is written
into the link names, but it is something we learned in primary school...

BTW, the original poster of this was not subscribed so will not
have seen these posts about Mac PPC. He did not reply to me
or the list, so maybe he is sorted by my original reply which was
copied to him.
