I'm not sure what ooo staff's intentions were on ^W
v. ^Q. If there is more than one document open, ^W gets
the top one, and ^Q gets them all; if there is only one
document, ^W closes the whole enchilada. I sure would
not mind a Y/N prompt (even if nothing needs to be
saved). It's not much of a big deal since it loads in <
6 sec on my AMD SMP; Star 5.2 was >30 secs and ~>10
times the resources, particularly on load. System load
for ooo is much less, dropping to 0 when quiescent.
In general, I agree on office suite usage: if someone
sends me something I need and I do not have time to tell
them I dont grok M$hit and stop sending it, since Star I
can reliably read it; before it was file 13 only.
I refused to do business with MS before DOS was even a
gleam in Billy's eye; one meeting with Bill over his
UNIX intentions was enough to convince me that no MS
product would ever cross my door --I have not changed my
opinion in 22+ years despite any friction it may create
with clients; besides, why give a monopolist quarter?
I am deliberately ignorant about Windows other than it
is reputed to crash regularly... losing everything.
However, I occasionally do need to create a formatted
letter or play with a spreadsheet. Star 5.2 worked for a
few years, and openoffice looks good --sure beats
'roffing it when Emacs and plain text is not quite
enough shine and the target still lives in snaildom.
