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. -- Dale Erwin Lurigancho, Lima 15 PERU http://leather.casaerwin.org ======= Email scanned by PC Tools - No viruses or spyware found.
