>>Office 2010 is bloatware. Almost any and every app takes 5 minutes to load.
You need to upgrade from your PII-400.
Heck, I’ve got an older corporate laptop and it does fine there. It is quite nice on my faster home machines.
>>You need to upgrade from your PII-400.<<
Sometimes it seems like I have a TRS-80 and am loading from a cassette tape.
I have a corporate-issued fully-loaded Dell E4310 — memory at max (4G), plenty of available disk, math co-processor, bitslice enabled, DOS partition set at 64K, FAT turned on (OK, all the last are just old Windows jokes)...
But it is the latest and greatest and Office 2010 still drags it down lower than moochele at a Hawaiian buffet.
