Well, since there are many more folks working in LO than on OOo, I'm 
wondering if the code is now flowing the other way?  Possibly w/o their 
(LO's) knowledge.

On a side note, I already had it (the -rc2) installed here, but when I 
unpacked the new tarball, I find its internal directory is an -rc4, 
although everything I have test ran claims to be a 3.3.0, no appendages.  
And the kde menu's did not require updating, a pleasant surprise.

Now OT:

I'm in WV, USA, where this current snow storm is laying it down pretty good 
and generally screwing things up, roads all shut down with wayward vehicles 
laying about, and the lights just started blinking.  Hopefully the weight 
of this snow will not pull down any power lines, but it would not be the 
first time. Some of us have generators we can cobble in to run the 
essentials.

2 of the neighbors have snowplows mounted on their biggest ATV's, and are 
now out clearing the roads and driveways up and down our street.  Both of 
my vehicles are of course 4WD, almost a requirement to call yourself a West 
Virginian in these parts. We call a 99 GMC pickup a West Virginia Cadillac. 
;) Generally, we are a pretty self-sufficient people.
