[plug] Star Office and 5.1 and the registration

[Kenworthy Family]

Hi all,
    I do not use the staroffice browser/mail  (netscape fan!!) but I already
have java installed on my machine for a uni subject.  Staroffice picked up that
it was installed and asked if I wanted this version to be used and then
continued.  Overall very fuss free and easy.  Registration was also easy -
worked better than previous versions but that maybe because the numbers did not
include any "o"'s or zero's - this was easily confused under the old system.
The point is that the numbers/letters must be entered exactly as per the email
returned after registration or off the web page or the install will be very
frustrating until you get past this spot - I have been there in the past till I
woke up that its very litteral and not very forgiving of typo's.
