Well,
Thanks to one of the USA mirror sites, I was able to hand out
some 3.1 CDs to a couple of 3.0 users and two people who never
used OOo before. I was at a volunteer work session for our
local Food Band and I had some CDs I made with 3.1, docs,
add-ons, and some more OOo related stuff filling a CD.
They loved the fact that I had the CDs for them to use before
the official release date.
One person I told that Impress could replace "your"
Power Point usage. I told her that I prefer to use
OOo over MS's product, plus it is free. She liked
the Free part.
Let me see, 11am Hamburg? Germany is the time of the
official release. What is that USA Eastern time? 7am
on Friday?
I am glad to have it now instead of waiting for everyone
to start trying to download it on Friday or Saturday,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc., etc., etc..
Get it now, or later it may take very, very, long to
download it.
I'm in Canada in the same Eastern time zone as U.S. I see 3.1 is
available now.

Well someone sent a reply thread asking why people are having
trouble with time zones. Well, I do not know which zone it was
in. I have a map of the zones somewhere, which I used for
International Shortwave Broadcast listening, but I do not have it
in my head. My 3 strokes prevents that from happening.
By-THE-By
do you know why the USA created its time zones? The railroad
safety board did it to stop so many train wrecks. There were
hundreds of local time zones, based upon local "high noon" of
the sun. Just like the with of the track is based on the width
of two horse's backsides and/or the distance between old time
wagon wheels, which was loosely based upon old Roman army
rules and regs for roadway construction.
I gave out many CDs last night with 3.1 loaded. Got some
new people to look at it as well as my "regulars" that needed
the upgrade (dialup users). I ran a presentation using RC2
and created some of it using RC1.
but now, I have to look forward to moving in the next few weeks
to a bigger apartment, for less money. Also no more steps for
this "broken" body. They have a elevator. Good thing I got
the CDs made before I had to pack up all my supplies and network
for the move.
