Question to Open Office download/licence experts. Is it possible for
someone limited by dialup connection to the Internet to obtain a copy of
Open Office from a friend with broadband? If so, you can get the friend to
copy the programme on to a disc and then load it into your PC.
In the UK you can go to a public library or to UK Online (not sure if this
is still available) where they have broadband and download to a disc for
home use.

However, I just spent 12 hours totday trying to download the

signal and the download stopped. And then would not re-establish the
download at where it stopped, so I had to do it all over again.
Another 60-odd megs and disconnect. Aggggg!
Is there ANY possible way to JUST have a smaller file of only
simple word processing with nothing fancy for dial-up users? So I can
maybe download it and use the program?
I ordered the CD a few months back and it wouldn't work on my
laptop. Tried it a couple of times and was told by a chum when it
wouldn't work in his machine [or a 2nd laptop I got thereafter] that the
CD was bad. [gee thanks]
I don't have ANY choice at this point but ordering ANOTHER CD
that I -hope- works this time because, even with all the [insert swear
swords here] problems I've had with trying to get this program - MS Word
is -worse-!
And yes, I emailed earlier - and am just really despondant
right now.

Look for a copy on disks that accompany the magazine MaximumPC
They often have OpenOffice on the cd; The magazine costs about $10
