Stuart,
Sun just bought StarOffice/StarDivision and now when you go to the
StarDivision
site you end up at the Sun site. It is still free from Sun. ( and well
worth
the price) <g>
BTW, just signed up for cable modem and tried the download from Sun and
it
took under three (3) minutes. I was pleasantly surprised as my original
download from SD took like you say over four hours.
