[Sussex] Wireless network card

Dominic,

OpenOffice has always struck me as a little clunky - but people here use 
it very happily.  To be fair I am a devout believer that office software 
generally is a major drain on productivity and the over-reliance on 
tools like Access, Excel and Outlook leads to massive administrative 
overheads fro gains that could be achieved more simply.

For me OOo is the suit I use only when some idiot sends me a word 
document, Excel file or Powerpoint file.  Currently I'm running the 1.1 
Beta and I must say it handles all these things exceptionally well. 

On another note..  now you have X running, if you want to show your 
colleagues something really stupid, but fun, then make sure you have 
xscreensaver installed, cd to /usr/lib/xscreensaver , and then do the 
following:

./<screensaver name> -root

eg:

./xmatrix -root

.... how's that for an impressive backdrop :)

PS... not sure if I'll make it tonight or not.. I'm a little 
overcommited at the moment.
