[TriLUG] Link to the new version of Star Office ver. 6.0 beta

[al johson]

And incidentally, "I" didn't write the text below the link below. It was
written by one of members of the "Lockergnome" group. If you don't know who
they are, I'll be happy to tell you about them. They produce several great
internet computer newsletters about all sorts of things in the computer
world. The name "lockergnome" is interesting. It was chosen because the guy
who started "Lockergnome" was shoved into lockers when he was in high
school, because he was a nerd :-))  The guys who did it are undoubtedly
making a lot less money than the "Lockergnome" today.
