Hey, nothing wrong with nostalgia :-)

But yeah, let's not help our detractors *too* much.

BTW, having witnessed the way in which OOo downloads increased not only as the 
application improved (thanks) but also as more used it, making it safer for 
others to try it and for public sectors to adopt it (gov't, schools, etc.), the 
curve only will get steeper. I expect too that those who have forestalled 
installing competitors or who have delayed the migration they've been wanting 
until they could see whether OO as reinvigorated in Apache was real, are now 
getting ready to install the suite. So, over the next month I would not be 
surprised to see even greater numbers.

And all this means that ecosystems supporting those new and old-time users need 
to get in gear.

Louis
