that's right.
(Of course, if you just leave it running all the time, minimized, that would be fast. It would still be using lots-o-RAM, and if the machine is on the low-RAM side, that might be wasteful.
mmm...that's right too.yet i keep using openoffice for professional reasons. never had a problem with the program with 'tho outside world' reading my emails or, more important, my writings and vice-versa.
and, with calculus i keep books for our (small but good running) business and can convert them files in whatever i want.
