Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.1 upgrade from 4.0.4 - now does not find Java

Agreed, just look at what happens to Outlook, or Thunderbird when the 
email store starts approaching 4GB on a 32bit system. This was an 
ongoing support issue in my days of corporate IT support, in trying to 
get users to purge their old emails and garbage and backup that which 
they wanted and create a new store.

The human race (those that have access to IT technology) has become 
hoarders of digital garbage in the most part of instances.
