I did not hear about that podcast show.

Nice to know that there are people out there that are willing to mention 
LO in a different environment or topic of discussion.

Of course, as sample "For me would be that now I will have to figure out 
how to "update" XP on rebuilt computers that had to go back to the 
original XP SP1 or SP2.  Plus not having to pay for a new OS in the 
process."  Of course I would have talked about LO and Linux.  LO for the 
free office suite and Linux for the free OS if there was not Windows 
option and the user of the computer will not need to install anything.  
SO XP updating would be the "different topic" there.
