The only Star Office related problems I see are that the text boxes at the top with the subtest (i.e. "- Cutting Edge Features...") should be lengthened to they don't get wrapped incorrectly in Star Office (it uses slightly larger fonts then windows seems to) and something about the "'" character you are using is causing it to not show up. I that that's the same problem that causes them to appear as "?"s in netscape. Content wise, you might want to remove the "Bounce Buffers" bullet since I've seen some people comment that they aren't much of a feature today. Also, you might want to mention just how much data ftp.cdrom.com servers; though I guess that doesn't have to be on the slide. All in all, a good presentation. You might want to see about distiling it to PDF if you have the capacity localy. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
