Re: Micro$oft on the Mac

[Mike Kauspedas]

I've used Office on new machines and old machines and never had a 
single problem. We've got it loaded on 30 eMacs here at the school I 
work for and all of them run flawlessly. The PC's with office and win98 
lock up all the time, but the Macs run fine. Office 2001 runs great too 
on classic. I would suggest reloading the application, perhaps deleting 
the preferences?

I am fully aware of how crap Office is on the Windows platform,
which is probably why I put up with Orifice v.X on my Mac.
I start the day by switching on my brand new PB 15" Alu, Mac OS
X.3.3 and then start Orifice v.X. Immediately it crashes (the only app
apart from Internet Exploder to crash on my Macs). Re-open Word
and start a new document.
I then go to save it and Word tells me I can only save the document
with 31 characters or less.
What is this, some ph*ckin' vengance for the years of 8+3 ?!?
Piece of crap!!!

Larry
P.S. Where I work, everyone uses Word and therefore I cannot switch,
before I get suggestions of OpenOffice, AppleWorks etc.
