That's why I started writing letters to MaximumPC and PC Computing just
to get the word out. Hopefully something will get their attention.

Hi,
Just a thought--
This list has seen during my brief time here quite a few postings
talking about purchasing OOo, getting license keys, shady offers to
"buy" OOo on eBay and in other places, etc.
Now I know that in a "caveat emptor" world we can't rescue all
consumers from their own naivete, but the basic concepts that one can
download and use and distribute OOo freely to ones heart's content
seem lost on some folks, and it really perplexes me.
It just drives me nuts that some poor fools are shelling out cash for
the exact same software most of us here use quite happily for nothing.
Maybe it is so darn good (and it is) and the majority of the
computer-using world so brainwashed by the MS hegemony that some
otherwise perfectly reasonable folks think that this is all maybe too
good to be true. I must confessed that the thought crossed my mind
when I discovered OOo when I got interest in Linux in generally and
Ubuntu specifically.
Is there any way to get the word out better? I have a funny feeling
that OOo is for so many poor schmucks who feel enslaved to MS a
too-well-kept secret.
Thank you for letting me rant.
Les
