2011-02-18 Thread Hassan "Haz" Williamson
@Mac, Thanks for that. Interesting read. Personally I'm going where the developers are, I have a feeling that Oracle might try to swing things to their favour and might close down some aspects of OOo - either that or try to incorporate their own proprietary database system in somehow.

@Neil, It only downloads the files as you select them. However I don't think it permanently stays on your device - it sort of gets cached on access and then purged away after x days I think. I usually use an file explorer of some sort and move them to a more permanent location if needed. @Dave, Th
