It has to be said, StarOffice is burning those cycles with reason - there's
a heck of alot of stuff going on under there.

Alex's StarOffice tip: go and get a copy of 5.1. Yes, it was SCSL, but it
was also free (little f). I found it to run excellently on my P166+ w/ 48Mb
RAM, so there ;P. I probably have some CDs with it if you can't find it
anywhere. But don't get 5.0 - that breaks most new Linuxes :(((

Cheers,

Alex.
