SO50 worthless



I'm afraid the Star Office 5.0 is worthless. It crashed while I was typing
in integer data points in the spreadsheet. I can't think of a more basic
task. When it crashed it took all my 128 meg real ram and all my 100 meg
swap (and allmost all of my cpu) such that I couldn't run 'ls' or 'top'
because it didn't have the ram to load the interprediter. I closed
netscape and mathematica and finally got enough ram to run top and kill
star office. 

I hope WP8 Office is good. (I've heard applixware 4.4.1 is very buggy and
crash-prone also)

Modern computerized word processing enables us, both as individuals and as a
cohesive societal entity, to exponentially enhance and aggrandize the 
parameters, both qualitative and quantitative, not to mention paradigmatic, of 
out communicative conceptualizations because now we can spell great big words
correctly without having a clue what they mean.  -- Dave Barry
