Once you take into account the rich/poor divide that is rapidly growing wider in all non-socialized countries, the vast majority of Ethiopians live on far less than $1,000 per year. Visualize what kind of computer they might have, or might have access to in an internet cafe even in Addis Ababa. And if you put yourself in the skin of someone living in Ethiopia, Zimbabwe ($400 per-cap GDP), Cambodia ($2,000), Kenya ($1,600), India ($3,400) etc ... you'll see that spending $36 on RAM and $40 on a HD and $20 on a burner is truly out of reach for most of the world population. (and one must have a fairly recent model of computer to take advantage of cheap RAM and peripherals, as well) You can't really use those figures to give you a view of what it's really like on the ground in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda etc (all places I've been to , and spent significant time in). Yes there are computers with only 256MB RAM around - but you're not going to be running any modern office suite on these machines regardless of who makes the software. I also would not consider these computers the norm... just old machines that have been recycled and reused... btu taht are being replaced there just as they were in the west. Things are changing rapidly in Africa. Take Kenya for example where 10 years ago, no one had a personal computer except the expat population, and a few of the ultra-rich. Now it's only the very poor who are still lagging behind. The fast growing middle class are all buying laptops - or diaspora are sending machines home to family there. This is something I also see happening in Rwanda and Uganda. The point being... while hardware is relatively expensive in Africa, it's not as harsh as it appears when you only look at the GDP.

The statement comes from a review of OpenOffice.org 3.3; it is about OpenOffice.org.

Re: [tdf-discuss] LibreOffice in Tip Advies Internet
Christophe, From memory all these features are also available in OpenOffice 3.3. Obviously as a fork that has just happened there is little difference between the packages except the perceived 'freeness' and future direction. That said, I recollect that LibreOffice was talking about merging some Redhat Code with the OO base before release but unsure if this actually ever happened. it would be good if someone was able to put together a package comparison matrix showing how OpenOffice and LibreOffice differs. Then as the branches diverge the value of using LibreOffice will become obvious.

[tdf-discuss] Windows Tab for LibO + F4 repeating function
Dear Guys, there's OfficeTab for Ms Office. I found the same for OOo:Tabbed Windows Extension http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/WorkInProgress/Tabbed_Windows_Extension but it doesn't work in version 3.3 Does anyone know which one is replacement for v3.3.0? In Excel, F4 does function as repeating the most recent action while in LibO, F4 key acts as Data Sources. How we can assign F4 to repeat the most recent action? Many thanks! -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
