Thread Name: Tech: about Microsoft, IE, Outlook
Subject: RE: BS: seriously--about Microsoft, IE, Outlook
StarOffice is a complete office environment, with an integrated desktop on top of the normal windows desktop. I think it also browses html documents. This means, to read one quick document from a friend, you have to wait ten minutes for the whole shebang to load, and then wait another five for it to convert the thing to it's own format. No thanks.

Thanks for the links Bill. I'm just looking for a good Word clone aside from WordPerfect, but pretty much in that class. TextShield doesn't look too bad. *g*

K-meleon looks pretty good from the faq and the forums. There are workarounds for the worst problems, and if you manage your bookmarks with an outside program, that completely removes the worst problem for me. K-meleon only takes 512??? I have over 2180 bookmarks. It was 2184 earlier today, and has probably gone up to 2190 by now. *bg*

Anyway, if it isn't good now, it's one to watch for in future releases.
