I use OO at home. I cannot dictate what software applications my employer chooses. And have you had to do the OO install dance on a Mac? A real PITA, compared with installing on a PC. You have to have the Mac OSX installation discs and install optional software before you can even begin to install OO. > > Mavica cameras REALLY suck, get something good from a camera company. > Bzzt. Mavica's ROCK for small object photography, which is what I bought mine for. I have used it for many years without a problem. The macro function is great, the lens is great, second best for what I do- the Best would be a Nikon Coolpix at twice the price. > Don't blame the Macs for the shortcomings of other manufacturers.
