MS Orafice runs about as fast on my Pismo/400/40GB/576MB as on my eMac/1GHz/60GB/640MB.
My biggest issue with MS Orafice is that over they years they have eliminated many of the great keyboard shortcuts that were develeoped originally on the Mac version and now only exist on the PC side. Oh brother. I haven't checked out Open Office yet, but if MS keeps decontenting their office suite (with the exception of misc background processes that just seem to slow the apps down) I may make that leap the next time I "upgrade". --- Geoffrey Loeffler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > More RAM -take it to 1 GIG.7200 hard drive made a > noticeable > difference in my Pismo 500.
