Just FYI for those who like to use it.
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

yeah, the web page was down but they gave the list of download links instead. I just grabbed it from those. It was just a bit slow for me but I got it fine right before I posted this.

There are some huge new features in this release, HUUUGGGEEE! (I can't wait for the portable version so I can grok it.)

e.g.: Mac OS X Support, Microsoft Office 2007 Import Filters, Spreadsheet Collaboration Through Workbook Sharing, 1024 Columns Per Calc Sheet (Instead of 256), VBA Support  :o, PDF Import Extension...

Wow!
