Oh please... What utter rubbish. If this doesn't brand you as a troll,
I don't know what will.
I guess you don't know the meaning of the word. A "troll" comes
from the fishing practice of "trolling", so the message may
be a troll, but I cannot be.
MicroSoft word on this machine loads more than 10x as fast
as OO does with Linux. It's the slowest OS I have used on
this machine. I can prove that with benchmarks, running
MSDOS off of a floppy.
If that's rubbish, then you are unworthy of responding to.
I suggest you actually *try* running some benchmarks using
Linux and MSDOS from floppy before commenting. MSDOS from
floppy is faster than Linux.
BTW, this shouldn't be surprising. MSDOS has less CPU overhead.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
