James,
Couldn't have said it better myself.
X11 is a much faster environment on any machine.
Carl: To compare launch times, I do the following: launch, then quit
the application three times consecutively, then time the fourth
launch. NeoOffice is slower in firing up (about 18") than OOo (about
9"). But it's also slower in its GUI, a result of the Java which is
executed, no doubt.

You have a slow machine to begin with. NeoOffice.org is very
'heavy' on a faster machine
and it is noticeable on both my PowerBook G4/1.5 and MacBookPro
2.0/2. I'm not going to
discuss this further.

Hmmmm. NeoOffice on my G3/400, OS 10.3.9, is faster to load and runs
about the same speed. Load time is my big complaint with OOo (even
NeoOffice isn't fast).

Hi James,
I can only guess here, but maybe, although "not computer-savvy"
as she
put it, she may know enough to fire up and use an X11 app. And
maybe
she is also tired of the sluggishness of NeoOffice (no offense
here,
but it _is_ slow, esp. when compared to the X11 version).
I don't know if I am alone here saying that I feel NeoOffice weighs
heavily on my Powerbook's performance, causing it to intensely
write- in
and out of HD and RAM. I haven't experienced any of this with OOo.
Just my guess, like I said.

NeoOffice.org.
You are correct, both NeoOffice.org and OpenOffice.org
can exist on the same machine, as I did this for many
months.

Hi Sue,
You need to go to the OpenOffice.org downloads site, then
select the
MacOS X download, then specify if you need the Intel or PowerPC
version, depending on what Mac Mini model you own (hint: if you
go to
the top left of your screen and click on the blue Apple logo, then
select 'About This Mac', a window will pop up showing you some
basic
info of your setup, for instance: "Processor: 1.67 GHz PowerPC
G4").
You don't need to uninstall NeoOffice, by the way; the two
programs
can happily co-exist side by side.
Hope this helps.
Alex.

I want to download Open Office onto my Mac Mini. I am not
computer
savvy so which option do I pick to download Open Office. I
will be
un-installing Neo Office afterward. If you could reply today I
would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Sue Reid
