It doesn't make sense running koffice without also running KDE, it's a hard |
| 21 |
requirement. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
And not only did I experience the 80s and 90s, but the 70s as well. |

So now that you have defined what fast, light, standalone means by your |
| 26 |
current needs, it is obvious that no such package exists and hence there is a |
| 27 |
gap in the market. |
| 28 |
|

Now we know what your next project will be. |
