OpenOffice.org Performance

[Tom Legrady]

Never cared much for troff, I liked TeX,  LaTeX in particular. On the 
other hand, non-WYSIWYG bothered me for stuff like letters. A thesis or 
essay I was comfortable drafting and viewing and editing and viewing, 
but for something mundane it bothered me to have to go back and do 
things for the appearance.
