Re: [libreoffice-users] question on Screen Resolution quote on web site.

I don't want to sound elitist here, but you these days people (like me) are throwing systems with 
those specs away.  I was not able to give my PIIIs away and all of them had better video.  I think 
you time might be better spent "upgrading" the video card rather than coping with a low res screen.

Cheers,
