Three things: <ol><li>Why did they remove the date/time?</li> <li>Why did they remove the local weather?</li><li>Why did they not provide a tutorial or even -- god forbid -- a manual for Unity?</li></ol>The developers seem to be operating under the -- wholly unwarranted -- assumption that EVERYONE is proficient with the C.L.I.! Much as I would like to upgrade to 11.04 when it is released -- I have heard some positive things about Libre Office -- having that Unity G.U.I. turns what should be an easy decision into a hard one; and eliminating the date/time and local weather is completely unjustified -- it is almost as though that they were removed merely for the sake of change. --N.B. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
