so a no no on open office and office 2003 thanks oh and will VLC Player be a good and light replacement for windows media player, I want one which will be able to play some of the most popular media formats e.g. divx, mp3, avi, etc oh and what internet browser will be the lightest, I was thinking on either opera (30mb RAM) or kmeleon (18mb RAM), is there one which is lighter than that
