Yeah, Donna can still do both printing and posting, but she'll need two different versions of the PDF, which might require her to track two different part numbers.
And the small letter "o" stands for ".org" ..... buaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa Seriously, I think the OpenOffice.org folks would find their marketing/"sales" picking up significantly if they'd remove the .org from the product name. It never made sense... at least not in English... to name the product after the website. Similarly, I'm sure that openSUSE (the current arrangement of lettercase) would have much greater market penetration if they'd just fixed the NAME at some point. That point would have been the same point where they stopped explaining the German-language derivation of the acronym. Having a significant portion of your users - never mind your intended audience - saying "Susie", and most of the rest of them saying "sooze" (ooze, as in primordial, with an "s" in front), and only about 37 people in the whole world saying it as "soosuh", the way you tell people it's supposed to be pronounced, is not a great recipe for widespread adoption. Ya gotta love a product that does well in spite of its name. :-) But for the wierd name, they'd have toppled Red Hat into obscurity years ago, and be gunning for Microsoft.
