Just a side note: the proper name now is OpenOffice.org. due to some copyright... thingies with another entity called OpenOffice. GAIM, the IM client for many Linux users, also had to change its name to Pidgin because of some tiff with AIM.

Doesn't stop us from using any of those great programs, of course.

Thanks for spreading the word.
