Really?  For an office suite with more functionality than Micro$oft
Office (which takes something like 300 megabytes)?

They're $9.95 (plus S&H) for a CD with binaries for OS/2, Windows,
Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 and Linux.  There's also a boatload of
fonts, both Adobe and TrueType.

I bought two copies (one for office, one for home) from the web site
(www.sun.com/staroffice).  They arrived in about 5 days and cost a
total of $28.

Coming soon for $39.95 is a CD with same binaries, but with
"extensive documentation" as well.
