I must admit that I found folder that Ubuntu had (not sure if it still has it because I don't use it any more) with some OpenOffice calc and Writer example files is great for demoing what can be done with FLOSS software and all from a live CD. So if you and others have other ideas jus keem them flowing... ps. what do you think about other two points?
