OpenOffice on the PowerPC is glacially slow. Even on my quad G5 runningat Highest, it is absolutely maddeningly slow to start up. I'm glad an

unofficial build is still available but it's pretty much hopeless for

practical use.

NeoOffice, on the other hand, is older but significantly quicker.

Ah, good to know. Both facts actually.

Good to know that it's not just me. Open Office is just slow. I can stop worrying about that.

Good to know about Neo. I downloaded that at the same time (literally). I'll try installing that too.

And my new copy of iWorks '08 arrived yesterday. There will be a plethora of office type choices on this machine before long.
