Is there anyone selling cd's of OOo on the internet anymore? It might be a nice thing for someone to get some CD's with 1.1.4 (or wait until 1.1.5 is out so the opendoc file types are supported) AND one of the latest snapshots of OOo - stick them on the web and have people buy them through paypal. $2.00 + s/h sound's about right (covering cd cost and time to burn it). Any takers? I wouldn't bother doing EITHER on dial-up. But I've been using the beta almost exclusively since the 1.0.95 release and the only problems I've had are occasional crashes in Impress (and they get less with every release). I just installed 1.9.122 last night and it FLIES - I'm loving this thing.
