Yes, you can simulate differential equations in real time with a 486
box but you can use it for MS Orifice text processing. What's wrong?
What I'm missing? I can't understand why MS soft is huge and sloooow
;-)
I don't hate GUI applications but for wordprocessing I moved to
LaTeX2e.
I prefer to type text under a console en then produce the PostScript
version. It's incredible how fast you can format a text in
excellent quality without a lot of processing power.
