Good luck. In my experience it often ends up corrupted or incomplete from
sun.com :)

if its just so51a then its the same as on Matts box, and all
waix/pix/parnet people would be better off grabbing it from
ftp://live.networx.net.au/pub/StarOffice to save themseleves

Up to you lot anyways..

as a side note, if I get an oldish pentium laptop for lectures this year,
what kind of battery life will I get off it if im just using linux with vi
or something along those lines for note-taking..
ie. Will it last a lecture? half a day?...
