You know, that's really bizarre, because I've got a 2.2 GHz AMD 4200+ with 2 Gig of RAM running Windows XP for my desktop machine and OpenOffice is so painfully slow I actually had to break down and switch back to Microsoft Office 2007, as much as I despise it.
My 4g Surf EeePC (same processor as yours, I think) has Go-OpenOffice running in the specialized "EeePC" version of Arch Linux, and it certainly doesn't run any better than it did on my desktop (read: worse than painfully slow). Maybe I've configured something wrong?
Well, I have a 4 gig netbook and thought I would be able to save a lot of room by eliminating OpenOffice and doing everything with Google Docs. That lasted about a week.
If I can afford it on my 4 gig netbook, they have oodles of space on a 20 gig one.
Typically when I see a UI done with flash, it's rarely at a level of sophistication where it couldn't have been done significantly more efficiently with CSS and Javascript. And unlike flash UIs, which are always tiny and unusable, it would have been scalable to a usable size for my monitor's resolution.
I dunno, in my experience it's always been more of the opposite. Typically people push you to break from "the norm" these days. Non-conformity is the new conformity.
Despite its etymology, schizophrenia is not the same as dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder or split personality, with which it has been erroneously confused.

If I recall, in Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon, they used entangled particles for instantaneous long-distance transmission across the galaxy!

And then we come back to my argument: it was never obvious to politicians, because they don't have a clue.
