Office 2000 was released in 1999. It is now 2004 - sorry, but everything
has a product lifeline and Office 2000 is 2 versions old. Expecting a
vendor to keep supplying CDs (and patches on CDs) for this period of time is
unreasonable, IMHO.
As for OpenOffice.org, more power to them. It is a capable system suited
for non-power users who don't mind not have a built in mail/PIM program.
For me, it is basically useless, however, ymmv.

After furious head scratching, Steven asked:
| I am in a similar situation. For me, using the Microsoft Office
| Update website is not a viable option for large downloads. I need
| Office 2000 Pro Service Release 1a or 2 (which includes Service
| Release 1a) on CD. Office 2000 Service release 3 CD does not include
| the 1a files, even though they are required to install Office Service
| Release 3. I think both of our problems would be solved with either
| Office 2000 Service Release 1a or 2 on CD. Microsoft has discontinued
| both of these CD's
| Anyone know where we can get copies? Is anyone at Microsoft paying
| attention? Why is it so hard to keep Microsoft products updated? I
| can only speculate. It appears to me that it is part of Microsoft's
| "prouduct support life-cycle policy". I think Bill Gates and
| everyone at Microsoft will be dissappointed when current Microsoft
| Office customers switch to OpenOffice.org instead of buying the
| latest Microsoft product with the associated update headaches and the
| short product life-cycle. Maybe Microsoft should add Service Release
| 1a to the Office 2000 Service Pack 3. Is anyone in Microsoft Office
| support monitoring this discussion group?
