As I mentioned might happen at the last pcfarms meeting, StarOffice 5.0 is
now downloadable and free for "personal, non-commercial" use. Follow the link
in the article below. You will be requested to fill out a short form with name
and address, then will be given a license key to enable the product, and will
be requested to enter the same information at install time... so remember how
you type it in. I successfully downloaded it (around 64 MB), but do not have
time to evaluate it. I did not check the license terms in detail to see if use
at the lab was "personal, non-commercial use". See:
