Well good luck, hoping that many want to give it a try. I'll use the
time to be sure the copy of the files I have match up to what is on the
server there, this moment - I think I'm out of synch.

You remind me that I've planned for what seems like weeks, but is
actually turning into Months to speak with the owners of a couple of
independent comp. shops in the county. The fellow in my town asked about
this, he put OpenOffice on all his machines for years, bought a cable
from him right after LibO happened and he mentioned the Chamber of
Commerce breakfast meeting, really doesn't have to do with a disc, more
the brochure I think..anyway I digress ;-)

Started using Calibre myself a while back, with OO.o - it's a good tool
IMO and with the change to mobile devices it makes a lot of sense, again
IMO.

Alright - I'll give it a try here, and check the bug trackers, will let
you know.

Thanks again,
