[sword-devel] [OT?] Any info on OpenOffice 2.0?

[Darald Bantel]

I do not know what kind of machine you are running (I'm on a AMD 64
3400, 1.5 gig, 120 gig) and Calc opens in about 1/2 minute (maybe less I
don't have a stop watch!!!).

Maybe the problem is that you are running OO on a MS Win machine - I'm
on FC4.
