Rollie Hawk writes "Having trouble converting your family and office mates into OpenOffice devotees? NewsForge (Owned by the same people that bring you Slashdot) can now help you convince the visual learners around you that they can do it. NewsForge is releasing a series of free video segments that demonstrate OpenOffice in action from installation to day-to-day use. According to the site, these clips will play on any browser on any operating system as long as Flash is available. One practical topic that should be particularly interesting to the would-be business converts is 'making a slide presentation in a hurry.'"

    Do they show OO loading? Because that's a waste of a solid 60 seconds worth of video... ;)

  2. Re:Very useful, but... slow? by martinultima · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Well, I happen to like having the Java stuff, just because it's such a Java-intensive program. May just have to do that on my laptop though, since the thing is about eight years old and tends to run just a little bit slower than my 2.4GHz Celeron desktop... I still think it's horribly unstable though. The only reason it's even on my machine / in my Linux distro that I maintain is because it really doesn't have any decently acceptable (free) competition.

    Does it cover how to install more RAM and a faster CPU needed to power the beast?
