Re: [libreoffice-users] now can Purchase a NA-DVD

For now, it looks like either waiting for a DVD or just download bits 
and pieces, since there is a bandwidth issue in NZ where he lives.

He can look at the web version to see what the DVD is like.  Then he, 
and anyone, can decide if it is worth the shipping costs.

Once it gets on a site like Amazon, then it should be easier to buy, 
since I do not think that the production site takes Paypal. I prefer 
Paypal for my online shopping.
