WHen my machine was hacked, I didn't bother reinstalling it. Mainly because I never use it, and I decided I wanted to learn LaTeX. My biggest problem with it was that it took ages to start up and used loads of my system resources. I couldn't run both it and netscape at the same time. (I use Gnome/E, and TOP shows them taking 27% of the mem as 'X'. I've got 128 MB swap.) Now I need a spreadsheet/plotter app to do lab reports. So I use appleworks on the iBook and force my poor boyfriend to perform voodoo on clippings to get them into extended postscript (.eps) format for LaTeX. I can't for the life of me figure out what Gnuplot wants, or even how to use it. But I'm not going to install a very large program so I can use its spreadsheet. I'll stick with my voodoo for now. I don't want an office suite. I want something I can use to make charts and graphs for my lab reports. (I tried; the version of gnumeric i have <0.27-1> doesn't seem to do this at all. If it does, the option is very well concealed.) As always, your mileage may vary. Conni -- We are the Burgh.
