I built OO from ports on a dial up connection. 
Twice.  What takes a long time is downloading
everything.  The compiling takes only a few hours
on my computer (1.533 GHz, 512 megs ram).

Someone once told me that 'mere mortals' should
never attempt to build KDE or OO from ports. 
This, of course could be nothing other than a
challenge, so I tried.  It took some work, but I
did it.  And this is more a testament to the
skill of the port teams than myself.  Thanks for
the great work, Ports teams!

Ports rock.  Now I can write in my favorite word
processor.

Of course, TextMaker is looking pretty good right
at the moment, as well...
