Keys to the Kingdom

My major problem with Open Office is that it’s gawdawful slow.
I don’t know whether it’s because everything is wrapped up into one application, or what.
I find myself activating my Windows VM under Parallels and using Word and Excel in preference to NeoOffice (Open Office customized for the Mac — it is, sad to say, quicker than the regular Open Office) just because the combined operation only takes about half the time.
Unfortunately I’m too cheap to shell out Microsoft-extortionate prices for Mac Office, so there you are — I’m just a prisoner of value rigidity.
