1. Someone on this list recommended using Staroffice at home because it is compatible with MS Office. I couldn't agree more, Staroffice is freeware from Sun, and I have version 5.2. I use it all the time, it is superb at any price, and for free it is an astounding deal. It has everything you could expect from an office suite. http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/get.html 2. About ten days ago someone posted something about Competition Accessories closing out the AGV Q3R helmets for $180. My Kiwi K22 is about 5-6 years old now, and I have tried to replace it with another Kiwi, but apparently they don't sell motorcycle helmets in the states anymore. So I went around to some local dealers to get a look at the Q3R and couldn't find it. I called the AGV distributor back east and asked if they had plenty of styrofoam in the chin area. I WILL NOT use a helmet without it. Styrofoam in the chin is the difference between a fat lip and a LaForte III fracture of the mandible and maxilla (your lower face breaks off, not recommended). I was assured there was lots of good styrofoam so I ordered the helmet, which arrived today. It will be going back tomorrow, no styrofoam in chin. I sure wish I could get another KIWI, it has lots of nice styrofoam, and an automotive seatbelt style fastening system. I have been using them for at least ten years now. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +Chase Kimball ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), nom de Plum "Lord Brancaster" aka +"Hannibal" in the Quake Clan "Zero Tolerance."
