Even on my 300 Mhz Pentium II machine with 190 MB of memory it took about 20-30 seconds to load that monster. Needless to say, I removed it from my system and got Applix. You must have something wrong with your system then. I have a AMD K6 233 with 98 megs of ram and it takes about 15 seconds the first time to load and about 4 secs. there after. Runs VERY fast in my opinion.
Strange... On my PPro150with 64Meg with UW SCSI-3 it takes about 28sec to initially load as well (3sec thereafter). In comparison MS Word97 on the same machine takes 1sec to load initially and "no time" thereafter. SO runs somewhat slow too. It thrashes the hard disk during ANY operation. Fonts are horrible in SO, especially, Times New Roman. As an experiment, open a document, change font to Times New Roman 12points, change the zoom to "Optimal". Now, try to use the delete or back space keys. For some reason the least expected parts of the line get deleted. Same types of fonts look fine in netscape, for example. Time for me to get new fonts? OK, just an opinion. alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
