That's 100 megs compressed...what may double that after install...maybe
more. No app should be that big...it's bloatware, regardless of OS.

"Realto" is a pest who should be ignored. I don't see his posts
because of my killfile and I don't see replies to his posts because
of my delete-to-end-of-document key. If you insist on feeding the
troll, you will find that the most helpful and knowledgable
participants have killfiled you and you no longer get help when
you really need it.

The delivery may have been Alan Connor-esque, but the point is valid: if
nobody feeds a troll, does it make a noise? And he's also right in
that many folks killfile chronic troll-feeders.

How about you check out some bad places for me. How about... My
killfile? Yeah, that's a great idea!

Have fun in there!

Not to be rude, but OO 1.1 was a 65 meg compressed download and installed to
206 megs uncompressed. If OO 2.x is 40% larger than the install has to be
larger than 206 megs.....besides if the compressed download OO 2.x is 103
megs how is the install 100 megs ?

Har. _Nobody_ especially people like you, Coward Hicks and Macon Bacon,
use a killfile. You enjoy the noteriety of being attacked by those you
falsely accuse of being "trolls".

And there is no way in hell you killfile those who respond to those you
call "trolls."
