Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice and OpenOffice

The "Cloud", Internet based help files, etc. do rely on having high speed
internet.  I believe too many developers labor under the belief that
virtually everyone in the US has DSL or cable modem.  And sadly, the US lags
behind other areas of the world in this regard.

Myself, I have two choices, dial-up or satellite.  And don't believe the
Hughesnet ads about the speed.  Just like most DSL users who rarely get the
speeds they are paying for, satellite users are in the bucket, you rarely
get what you are paying for.

FYI, I have Wild Blue for those that may be curious.
