Also I was wondering how long it will take to get
a "self install" CD image for 3.0 to come out. I usually
burn 10 copies at a time for giving it out to everyone
I talk into trying it instead of using their MS suites.
If I wait till the 3.0 image comes out, I would need to
burn at least 100 CDs to the people, companies, agencies,
and non-profit organizations that I have given out
over the past year or two. One CD each that is. I do not
know how many PC now have OOo on them from the
CDs I have given out. Hundreds? More?
Instead of CDs, why not keep copies of it on a USB flash drive, like I
do. I maintain a selection of open source apps, such as OO, Firefox
and others on a USB flash drive that I carry with me. That way I can
install the software for them.
I am waiting with baited breath.
Catch anything yet? ;-)
LOL!! AAaaarrrgggghhhhh! That's just awful!
What's just awful?
It was referring to your inappropriate choice of words. I believe you
meant "bated", not "baited" as in baiting a hook or trap. Apparently
the trap worked. ;-)
Never said I could spell properly. Two strokes can do that to you.
I am lucky to be able to do anything. The Strokes are the reason
I am now "medically retired" instead of working for $100+ per day.
BUT I also try to hook people into trying OOo, or even set a trap
for them. If I can get to them with the free CD and the info about
OOo and its benefits to their company, organication, or just their
personal use, I will get them to try it more than 50% of the time.
If you get the people who are the bean counters to realize that OOo
is just a good as MS office and you will NEVER have to pay for the
newest versions of it, you get them to at least try it. The bottom
line of saving money works.
But, I still am waiting with bated (and baited) breath for 3.0 to
come out. So is many of my OOo sucesses.
