Several of us have written for OpenOffice.org magazine special issues that are put out about once per year by Linux Identity: http://www.linuxidentity.com/us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5041 They are a French company (with some offices in Poland), but offer the magazines in English. I have seen them on the shelves of major retailers including Barnes and Noble. The magazine includes a DVD with the OOo installer and other bonus materials. This may be what you've seen on store shelves, too. Look around in that same section and let us know if you see the OOo special edition there. (The latest one even has my picture in it. :) -Ben Benjamin Horst [email protected] 646-464-2314 (Eastern) www.solidoffice.com -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
