Hi :) Superb!! Thanks Felmon :) again :) SUSE are a supporter of LO right? They even supply paid dev time to the project and chosen at least one superb person that has put far more in than he gets paid for.
I guess next test is finding the reliable graphs of various stats about the worlds top 500 super-computers = such as which OSes they run.

That was the day that the LSE came to a crashing stop. What happened? While the LSE has never come clean on the whole story, my sources told me that the LSE's Windows-based .NET TradElec stock exchange had crashed. What we do know is that the CEO who had brought Windows and TradElec in was fired, TradElec was dumped, and a Novell SUSE Linux-based platform was brought in to replace it. Today, February 14th, the LSE's Linux-based Millennium Exchange took over and everything just worked. It did take longer to switch to Linux than expected, because of what the LSW first called "sabotage" but later put down to "human error" in late 2010. On its first day, out LSE ran like a charm. --------- >> ________________________________ >> From: rost52 <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Thursday, 11 October 2012, 13:39 >> Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: Help request on CALC charts' features >> >> Tom, interesting information about the usage of MS at stock-exchange >> operations > > [...] -- Felmon Davis Every silver lining has a cloud around it. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
