How long does it take you to boot StarOffice?  I can go make a coffee
while it loads on mine (seriously!).

It is actually quicker for me to shut down X, reboot into Windoze and
load Office97 than it is to load StarOffice from within X.

To me, that is pathetic.

Laptop Specs:
AMD K6-2 @ 380Mhz.
64Mb RAM
6Gb hdd

So as you can see, it's not a bad machine - it'll run two Seti@Home
clients and still process work units in under 20 hours!
(StarOffice performance figures are WITHOUT the likes of Seti running -
Seti makes it even worse!)
