Janosch, Ok, so when I go to download OOo 3.0 I clicked to download, and then it too me to a page that said:
*The download you have chosen could not be initiated automatically. Please visit the download overview<http://download.openoffice.org/other.html> .* Then I went to the download overview, I come to a page with a table "*OpenOffice.org download* *The table shown below provides an overview of localized OOo versions for supported platforms. Please choose what you need! Some of the links may refer to the native language download pages. These pages are maintained by the native language community<http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html>and sometimes may not include all platforms. Thank you very much."* , and beside English under Mac OSX PPC I selected 2.4.0 to download diskimagemounter.app (default) I think this is version 2.4.0 of OOo....Does this mean that I can't download version 3.0?
