Unless you have some time of the day when your ISP gives you free hours (ours call them the Happy Hours :D ), you should not use your bandwidth cost to download a huge package as this. Besides what others have suggested, do find out about computer (software) magazines available with your local magazine vendor. More often than not, OpenOffice will be included, esp. now that a new version has come out. Although an OpenOffice only CD would work out to be cheaper but I suppose happening to be in an area where you can get a OO.o vendor can be a matter of luck. Do see if anyone whom you know has already got a copy of OpenOffice and avoid the vendor route. -- Diabolic Preacher As Is Blog: http://pintooo15.livejournal.com/ Bookmarks: http://simpy.com/user/dpreacher -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d+(-) s+:+ a22 C++@ UL@ P L+(++) E- W++ !N o?
