Quoting Jared Odulio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

Aw, c'mon, Jared.  Don't be so obtuse.

_Obviously_, the implied comparison was not Star Office to any IDE, but
rather Star Office to other office suites / word processors.

The most horrendous metric for Star Office resource consumption is of
course disk space, but let's look for a moment at RAM consumption at
load time (since I have figures handy):

Star Office 6.0:  73 MB
OpenOffice.org 1.0.2:  73 MB
KWord 1.1.1:  17 MB
Corel WordPerfect 8.0/8.1:  6 MB
AbiWord 1.02:  6 MB

Thus my point.

> If you will compare Eclipse versus NetBeans that's pretty related....

So, you're saying one Java tool isn't too ghastly compared to a 
-=second Java tool=-?  <chuckle>  I see.  Well, that clarifies your
standards.
