yah, I haven't used any of the latest OOo builds, but last I tried, it still
seemed to be a bit of a hog (however, I have not yet tried it on my
non-archaic machine)...  it's steadily improving, however...  personally, i
really like KOffice, but it, too, has plenty of room for improvement...

i remember when WP8 came out for download from linux.corell.com...  i was
pretty pumped about it... until i actually ran it...  StarOffice5 was a
dream compared to it, unfortunately :(  and all the other corell-related
junk going on at the time didn't help...  hopefully OOo won't turn out to be
another mozilla-type thing where you wait and wait and wait for a good,
usable product...  heh, in fact, i think i'll d/l the latest build and try
it out...  :)
