Stars Update Excellent

[Mathieu Charron]

But massive data aggregation fail miserably in OpenOffice/LibreOffice.
That where Excel shine (and it's just better, period).

LibreOffice did a LOT of code cleanup and the RC1 runs very smoothly
(I still don't understand why it take 1-2 seconds for my right-click
to show up on windows).

School = Use what the teacher tell you to use (I refused once, he
failed me, True Story!)

Elsewhere = Use what you want.

This discussion is useless: The school asked for it. You can't threat
the school the same way you thread a user.
It's like asking a city to turn off the light when they are not in
use, and I'm talking about street light.
