That's a misconception. I am not a Microsoft sympathizer :-) but I
don't like incorrect information perpetuated. On my Office 2003, firing
up Office and loading a 30-page document, I can see it is currently
using 32MB resident with 16MB stored in virutal. 48MB is pretty darn
good considering the features I'm getting, and it's less than OpenOffice
uses.
bloated word processor with another :-) My point was
really that I can
believe that a 'modern' word processor could bring a circa-300MHz
machine to its knees easily enough.
All my 300MHz-era machines have at least 192MB of RAM, so I can't see
that happening :)
