If you are really interested, please >e-mail me, and I'll be happy to reply :) If they're different to "we don't have a good reason really but it gives us a good feeling to be able to show the management a handful of signed papers which assures us that all problems will be handled (remark: not necessarily fixed, just 'handled' ;) and here's a list of phone numbers we can call just in case", feel free to forward it to me as well. ;) Note that I'm not saying that there are no good reasons to use something different than StarOffice. It's just that big companies _like_ to spend money in a way. I know of a case where a company tried to sell a product which would run on a cheap Linux box and they couldn't sell it. Then they made another offer which was more or less the same software but "required" a million-dollar machine and they finally could sell it. Oh, and to make this posting chess relevant: e2-e4 ;) Sargon
