The Home & Student edition of Microsoft Office comes with three Product Keys and may be used in three installations at the same time. Only setback: it is not upgradeable, meaning: if the time comes to upgrade you'll have to buy the full version (Standard, Professional or Home & Student) again, since you cannot use an upgrade version on a Home & Student version. The Home & Student edition is what I am using. Bought it on eBay, got it with the three Keys and use it happily ever since. It's my all time favorite for Mac OS X: Office:mac 2004. I heard that Office:mac 2001 is said to be the best for Classic Mac OS (7-9.2.2?). But some people swear the best is AppleWorks… Cheers, Andreas aka Mac User #330250 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
