I tried StarOffice earlier today. The install is confusing
since after untarring everything, I couldn't find any documentation
which said what setup to run, etc. The spreadsheet seems quite
good, the math program looks quite confusing, the graphing
is good. The wordprocessor seems to be very slow and use
very small fonts, even for 12 point. And the style window
that hangs around in each program is a bit annoying.
Anyone want to give a comparison with Applixware?
I'm considering buying Applixware because it is only $100 AUD
student price, which is pretty good (MS Office 97 is $200
for students I think, regularly nearly $500).
