I have also had this exact experience. OOo calc becomes completely unusable when trying to graph large data sets. I use gnumeric when faced with these situations and it is MUCH faster in the plotting.
Crayfish really do quite well without "brains" as they have most of their control circuits in there eyes, claws, and legs. You are assuming that their hearts are driven by their brains, which they are not! Nothing so weird as watching two gutted crayfish fighting it out, post "death". Their bodies just haven't figured out that their dead yet, sort of like cubicle existence.
I have just gone through the DSL connection process. I started in June of this year and got connected last week. Initially Bell Atantic said that I was a few hundred feet too far away from the central office. I reapplied and finally (after the Bell Atlantic strike was settled) got them to try to find an "unloaded", unspliced, line to my house. After they spent the time to do so, it setup just fine. I am using EarthLink/Mindspring/Covad as the ISP/dsl provider and am very happy. I see 400-1000 kbs down and 300+ up. Connection is very stable. The RoaringPenguin ppoe client for linux works beautifully.
My advice is to persist (politely) with the local telco and see what they can do.

The reviewer mentions that you can get a partial preload of openoffice binaries during the launch of kde. Anyone know how to set this up?
