| Star Office for Amiga? Maybe. : Comment 16 of 16 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Anthony Long on 19-Jul-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 15 (XDelusion):
That's exactly what I am suggesting :) Sure, Star Office is nice (I use it on my x86 box running Mandrake 7.0),
but it is bloated, and badly so. It would not be so bad if it did not take minutes(!) to load, running on a K6-2 500.
If the individual components could be loaded separately, it would be much nicer. As somebody else already mentioned,
the way it tries to replace the desktop also sucks. Having said that, as a word processor (that's all I have used it
for to date), it's decent, and the Word export formats work fine when I take my disk into uni and load the files |
