I spend quite a bit of time going back and forth between the several different
versions that I have installed to confirm/deny issues that used to work but no
longer do.

Do you miss Marco too?   :D

I'm glad to hear that there is a plan to improve the speeds but I do have 1
question.  If StarDivision's code was also bloatware then why did it run SO much
faster than todays code?  Granted, it might have been bloated (from a coder's
perspective) but it was good enough (from a user's perspective) and today's code
just isn't good enough from either perspective.

I'm not pissed at Sun but I wish that they left the product alone - as it ran
FAST - and just added features before tearing it all apart.
Just to be clear, the complaints aren't meant to be directed at the coders as I
know that you do what you are told but more so toward the philosophy and
direction which is clearly management's responsibility.

I'm sorry to hear about your working conditions - especially when you could be
watching the world cup in person and having a pint, LOL.  Take care and take it
easy.  The comments weren't directed at you but more the company's closed
philosophy and direction of the package.  When I had the original packages, I
thought "wow, this is great - imagine if some money were put behind it" then Sun
bought it and I thought "OMG, this is going to kill MS Office" but alas there
haven't been many feature additions over 6 yrs and the program runs MUCH slower
than original so I feel like a deflated airbag and I don't have much, if any,
enthusiasm for a project that I strongly supported in the past.  I realize that
this is out of your control.  Keep up the good work and here's to hoping that OO
catches MS Office in the next 5 yrs.  MS knows how to copy and many of the
features that used to be exclusive to OO are showing up in MS Off 2007.
