Yes, *.122 FLIES! I have had very few problems with
this version. However, it is BETA software and there
are no guarantees beyond the Arkansas Guarantee my
used car salesman gives:
"If it breaks, you get to keep the pieces."
On dialup, I did download m69. An ~80 MB download
takes at least overnight. A download manager that allows
restarting a download will help.
I believe 1.9.122 is the most recent OO.o version. On
dialup, I had to use Bit Torrent to download 1.9.69
that works. That download page is
