You really don't want to know... ;) Even once you've got everything loaded
and running, there's still a delay between your keystrokes and text
appearing on screen. Three or four minutes between actually starting Star
Office and a chance to enter keystrokes. It's a worry ;).

On the same system, Word Perfect 8 runs quite smoothly. I'm really
interested in seeing how the rest of the Corel suite runs now.

I'll also be testing out Applixware on this box soonish and I'll report
the results in this thread. Our office is looking to ditch all traces of
Microsoft and commercial UNIX and I am the Guinney Pig. Snort, snort :).

Peter.
