Perhaps you are viewing a different site? When I go to http://www.openofficesuite.com/ it pops up a search listing, one of which is "Open Office Suite". Click on that "Open Office Suite" link and it takes you to: http://www.cdearth.com/openoffice-office-suite.htm That site proclaims: "Free Offer Get this software CD free! + Click here for this free CD. So I click the "Click here" and it takes me to https://www.cdearth.com/. On that page I can select "OpenOffice". Click that and it takes me back to https://www.cdearth.com/openoffice-office-suite.htm. Woops... turn on cookies and I finally end up at: https://www.cdearth.com/index.php?page=shipping That provides a form for shipping info & I didn't go any further. The site has been in operation since 2002 so they seem legit. Where did you find the 1 year support and where did you, or the OP find the $40 price? http://www.cdearth.com/terms_conditions.htm reminds me of those CD, book & book by tape clubs... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
