I have been using a program called textmaker from www.softmaker.com
It loads really fast and I like it because word documents show very well on it.
I avoid openoffice and koffice like the plague. I have tried both and do not like either one.

Wow -- I used 1M, and half of that was ram disk because I couldn't
afford the HD. :-)

And you need 132M to display a clock these days too. Your point is? :-)
