They then called the program Opal Office and was offered through Hotsales. I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere along the line but I was very anxious to get a program soon.
Anyone can sell OpenOffice if they choose. Many sell it on CD for a nominal amount and provide a service for those who can't or don't want to download it. There are others, who simply sell a download link or claim they're providing support and then point the users here, for their "paid support". I don't think much of either of those types. All we can do about them, is to get the word out about the free downloads available from www.openoffice.org. Incidentally, since you mentioned Google, they are offering StarOffice, which is the commercial version of OpenOffice, for free as part of their "Google Pack" http://pack.google.com. So, as you can see, there's no need to pay anyone for an excellent office suite. Please pass the word to your friends etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
