There have been several threads about office or word processing apps that are rather heavy on resources. I installed Open Office & AVG Antivirus on an old Acer laptop running XP Home. with a 400Mhz cpu & 160Mb Ram & gave it to an elderly neighbour who ran a small office many years ago but has no computer knowledge. As to be expected the laptop ran quite slowly. By replacing the full OO & Avg with OOo4kids & Avira it perked up some what. I suspect this was a combination of both apps using less resources.

Yes, it's still in beta. I wouldn't use it for production. |
