I know.. I am even on dial up... I got OOo through Maximum PC magazine. But if I had the money, I'd gladly burn the installer to CD and pay for shipping to anyone to get it. But I don't have that kind of money obviously.
And still, I think GetRight really needs to be marketed more. Download chunks of large files and pause them overnight (turn off your computer and start them again the next day). I've downloaded huge files (100 MB) in one day using dial up! Sure it took 6 hours, but it's better than days. But I am not going to get into the distribution part... this is marketing ;) Travis Newton On 6/17/05, Graham Lauder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Travis Newton wrote: > > >But why eBay?
