BTW Steve, last Friday night, I loaded OO onto a new MacBook Air that I had just bought. Been using this on my iMac for some time. At any rate, when the Open Office site redirected me to Source Forge, the web site just sat there. I believe the server was having some issues. But the point I am making is that just below where it says that the "download will start momentarily" or some such wording, there is a link to have it commence right away. I eventually clicked on that and that appears to have downloaded the disk image properly. I agree about not clicking on any other buttons (Source Forge seems to have loaded up on spammy stuff since the last time I did this) but that link does seem to be OK. ..... At least I hope so. If not, let me know!
