Well I disagree, as an early notebook user (EEEPC 701) OOo was very well usable, I have no complains on the system slowing down or anything, The original Xandros environment was very well optimized for the system.

Since then the processors got faster with Atom and that means that it could only get faster even more. > > Small, light ODF tools the size of Geany or Kate are needed for text, if > not also spreadsheets and presentations. KOffice for maemo is a good example of an ODF tool for users, projects like ODFViewer on XUL is another good orphan project that should be updated and improved. > > /Lars > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Español IM: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
