Not at all. In fact, as of 1.0.1, StarOffice is slightly behind. It's the same 
situation as Mozilla/Netscape 6. However, NS seem to think 'value added' 
means mandatory registration and AOL messenger. Ho hum.

Anyway, in case anyone is interested and is stuck on dialup, I have got the 
latest stable release (1.0.1) of OpenOffice.org, if anyone wants a copy. I'll 
even throw in Windows and Solaris versions if they are requested. Just give 
me a little something for my time at the meeting (no, not that, sicko :)

Similarly, I have the Debian 3.0r0 7 disk set on my hard disk if anyone wants 
one (just the binaries). 4.3Gb of Debian goodness. MMMMmmmmm

Just one last thing (this is a very bitty email, and I apologise) for those 
who have a copy of SO5.2 lying around (the last of the free SOs). The 
templates work fine with OOo and SO6, just copy them across :) I would think 
that licensing would mean you have to have SO5.2, and not just your mates 
copy of the templates, but still...
