'Safe'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Really slow and bloaty though - it takes a lot to be more bloatware than MS Office, but open office manages it.
Heh. The version I'm running (the most recent) doesn't. That's one of the reasons I run it, frankly. It's much faster and less prone to eating my resources, and as I'm only using it for WP, it gives me all I need.
Interesting. I have the latest too, and it is much slower than Word 97. I wonder what I'm doing wrong with open office.

AH!
See, I haven't used Word 97 in... a really long time. So I'm comparing it to later versions of Word.

Huh. I still use Word 97 on my work PC.
Up until recently we still did a lot of development on Access 97, some of which had to use VBA to control Word.

I haven't used '97 since Word 2000 came out.
I still use 2000 on one of my home machines, and Word XP on another.
I still use Office 97. I've never liked 2000, especially the abominations it laughingly refers to as "help" files.
Does Earthlink require you to use their software to connect via dialup?
No. I've never installed it, and I've been with Earthlink for roughly forever. They keep offering new versions; I keep sneering.
Yup. I tried the earthlink software, years ago, and ditched it straightaway. I've moved on to greener pastures since then, but I was always happy with earthlink.
Yay, new Macbooks came out (with intel core 2 duo) so the refurbished ones are cheap cheap cheap!!
