I gave up on slashdot over a year ago. It was when they started trying
to fool readers. I subs to Humourix for jokes.

Applix had some faults from the start that took a while to clear up,
particularly saying it includes mail when it didn't work, then charging
you the same price again to upgrade. Star Office didn't really have any
competition - it was free and applix offered less, but didn't do it
better.
I never seriously used their DB interface (applix), which I understand
was good and liked.
