    OpenOffice is a different product to SunOffice.
    I purchased the 5.2 Star Office on CD.
    I downloaded OpenOffice.
    I purchased Slackware 7.0.
    I purchased VMware.

    I get the best product for the job.
    If I have to pay for it then I do.
    I will look for a "free" option but will not d/l warez.

    5 Continents and a whole pile of Countries.
    And when anyone in the US connects to anywhere else in the world it should of course be free.
    The 1st Amendment guarantees that.
    Or was it the 5th?

    Damn, I wish we had an amendment we could force on the rest of the world.

  10. Re:Somebody has done this before on Hack Turns iPod into PDA · · Score: 0

    My little REX 3000 is marketed as a pda and has virtually no onboard input mech.
    Everything is done through the host computer.

    So by definition it's crap because you can't input contacts on the go?

    I agree, _very_ missing the point.

    Yes and nowdays it should slow your machine down to oh 400MHz.

  21. Phone cable as well? on Wiring A New House? · · Score: 0

    I ran cat 5e everywhere - 2 jacks per room - 4 by my desk :)
    The patch panel is in the basement.
    The phone terminates on the patch panel as does my adsl.
    I've got a 4-way splitter cable made up to put the phones (over the cat5) to any of the rooms I want and a 10Mb Hub for the rest of the connections.
    I wasn't worried about sound/tv/whatever.
    If I was I'd go for a 4-way jack per room.

    Next step is a 10/100 switch and wireless for the laptops.
