Re: [libreoffice-users] Fw: Help request on CALC charts' features

Hi :)
Superb!!  Thanks Felmon :)  again :)

SUSE are a supporter of LO right?  They even supply paid dev time to the project and chosen at 
least one superb person that has put far more in than he gets paid for.  

I guess next test is finding the reliable graphs of various stats  about  the worlds top 500 
super-computers = such as which OSes they run.  

Regards from
Tom :)

wow, grasshopper, your google-fu these days is weak!

for instance:
<http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/the-london-stock-exchange-moves-to-novell-linux/8285>

fair use quote:
----------
September 8th 2008 was one of the worst days ever for the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and high-end 
Windows server-based applications. That was the day that the LSE came to a crashing stop. What 
happened? While the LSE has never come clean on the whole story, my sources told me that the LSE's 
Windows-based .NET TradElec stock exchange had crashed. What we do know is that the CEO who had 
brought Windows and TradElec in was fired, TradElec was dumped, and a Novell SUSE Linux-based 
platform was brought in to replace it.

Today, February 14th, the LSE's Linux-based Millennium Exchange took over and everything just 
worked. It did take longer to switch to Linux than expected, because of what the LSW first called 
"sabotage" but later put down to "human error" in late 2010. On its first day, out LSE ran like a 
charm. ---------
