Microsoft Office is readily available for the Mac. I have a Mac in the
office and a PC at home, and I have most of the same software on each
of them. Excel or Word files produced on a Mac easily open on PCs and
vice versa. Powerpoint is more challenging. I find that files created
on a PC work just fine on a Mac, but powerpoint created on a Mac will
often get weird on a PC.
Lots of other programs are available in both Mac and PC versions. For
example,for stats I JMP on both types of machines and have SPSS on
both the Mac and the PC in my lab.

Quoting Judith Weis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
A grad student of mine uses a Mac laptop, and she doesn't have excel on
it but some other spreadsheet that does not do as much as Excel does.
Do you need to make special arrangements to have the usual PC programs
put on a mac?
