Came this utterance fomulated by Flem D. Williams to my mailbox:
WHAT'S UP WITH THIS DOWNLOAD CRAP?
Boy, you are asking for it! You have emailed a mailing list where
several thousand happy OpenOffice.org users recieve every email.
For more than five hours I've started the download for OpenOffice3.
Each and every time, this damn download hangs, stops, or crashes
around 28% of completion. After this, the whole operation is frozen
into a dead state where everything on the pc and keyboard is immobile,
frozen or dead!
In order to bail out of such a predicament, the only available option
is to press the Reset button because of the preplanned, malicious
hacking wrought on by this listless, academic crackpot who devised and
programmed this damming crap into the system in the first place!
This would be entirely an issue with your computer or perhaps a 1%
chance of it being your ISP. Most of us get OO.o downloaded without
issue; even those of us on dial-up connections. Some of us have resorted
to download programs like"get-right" which will restart a download from
the last drop-off point although the latest firefox (version 3.x) may
have a proper download continue built in anyway.
Needless to say, this type of shutdown has happened before, causing
severe hard drive damage, resulting in the purchase of several new
hard drives. There is no valid reason for such reckless, wanton
behavior in operating a website
To cut through the chase: This website:
http://download.openoffice.org/ simply sucks, and is doing so all the
way up to the gates of hell! I cannot understand why a big company
such as Sun Microsystems would shell out their products to some
unknown, questionable characters who's very intention are clouded
with ulterior motives.
For the reasons stated above, I will simply get a copy of OpenOffice3
from my neighbor.
Thanks for the hassle!
Yep, you are one frustrated puppy, but you are likely to get flamed big
time if you take on an attitude like this on this mailing list. Best you
go and buy a flame retardent suit and probably bring the barbie indoors
to sit on while you answer your emails for the next three or four days.
