Your Linux customers already have OpenOffice.org so you don't have a problem there. Your MAC customers might like to know you have a solution that could help them. No one wants to spend money if they don't have too. You could figure out a way to tell them about it so they see it as a helpful service for their gain. They aren't all going to do anything about it (some will) but that does not mean you don't try. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
