Nope, not since CSUN in '83.  I did sit in on my wife's English class a 
few times, but even that was several years ago.

Just between you and me, I don't think MSO is worth even $8 more than 
OOo.  I have a true contempt for all things MS.  I wouldn't be using 
WinXP if I could get OS/2 to install on this machine.  If I can get eCS 
(OS/2's successor) to install, I can scrap WinXP too.
