Why doesn't Sun create Open Office online so we don't have to
download and install the software? Plus we'll have access to all of
our files from any computer in the world?

The best one I've found online so far is www.thinkfree.com You can
download and install it, or use it in your web browser. Files are
stored online. It really looks and works exactly like Excel and
Word.

As you probably know, software is going online now so we won't have
to install so much and it prevents piracy. Check out:
www.photoshop.com/express for their first release of Photo Shop
software online!

I'd really like to see Sun do this with Open Office!!

Google Docs can upload and download text documents and spreadsheets
in OpenOffice format ...

I trust this will ultimately meet all your requirements.

I think Harold did understand what you were saying (he very rarely gets it wrong). I think it was you who misunderstood his "upload/download" terminology, because Google Docs does pretty much the same thing as you are proposing. Terminology aside, there is already a project being developed, for the on-line (in browser) editing and storage of documents using OOo.
