"Since we wrote a yarn about how opening OpenOffice was slower than a Lada full of elephants going uphill, we have had a few tips from our readers as to how to speed it up. The changes are not difficult and do seem to have an effect. We can't be certain how much this will affect the functionality but we pass these ideas on."

Leave Thom alone.

Thanks Thom for providing news items, when few readers don't appreciate it.

I wish the Net was a more peaceful place. I kinda of remember it used to be around 1997.

Get a pair and wake up!

The Net is not a peaceful place. Worms, Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, Microsoft and Bloatware are all prevalent every second you are connected to the Internet, due entirely to Microsoft and their swiss cheese OS.

Organizations like OpenOffice and platforms like UNIX and Linux are taking a proactive stance against this computing experience, and always have.

But people like Thom Holwerda don't care and don't report this.

Whatever sells advertising it all he cares about.

So, don't rate OSnews.com as a credible news site, or Thom Holwerda as a credible journalist.

Maybe a "Copy and Paste" journalist, but not a REAL journalist.
