BTW, most (ie >95% of) internet subscribers in South Africa are on dialup. We have about 3000 DSL lines total available in the country ... and I expect there are many countries in a similar situation, where just adding OpenOffice.org to updates would require users to run a > 6 hour update ...
and even in the US its not like you can just pop into RadioShack and get broadband service (yet). most of the time its a matter of wading past ads by the meter to get to the truth (and you may not find it even then)
