So? I once used Visicalc, I still (after 6 years) use Exim. (Actually, I
once used MS Multiplan, Lotus 123 and MS Excel too, but I now use
OOo[1].)
Maybe there wasn't a helpful (Tandy/Radio Shack) Visicalc mailing list
=) There /is/ a helpful OOo mailing list.
Best slogan for Exim?
"Listening software"
"Meritosoftware wins out"
"Even the English Board of Cricket Selectors doesn't listen like we do"
"Competition? What competition?"
"Mature in cask, young in taste"
