Cool! I wasn't aware of that. I usually cut an Ubuntu update CD for a friend every few months (she is also on dial-up) and then cut another OOo update as well (Windows version). Perhaps I'll save the extra CD... only problem is that the Ubuntu repositories are usually a version or two behind. Note to OP/Jud7j: send me a msg with your address & if you can make it past the spam filters I'll cut a OOo CD for you directly provided you are in the US. Email address is valid. I figure that anyone that would try to download OOo for 16 hours is worth the cost of a few stamps and a mailer. And _no_ the offer isn't good for anyone else :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
