Doug, congrats on the successful install. I've used MacOS for years and also use MacOS X. However I've been drifting away from Apple the last few years as I don't particularly like their way of doing things. As far as I'm concerned they're not much different than M$ and would love to be in M$ position marketwise. Properietary OS'es suck wind! Anyway, in terms of office suites for Linux there are several. Abisuite, KOffice, OpenOffice and StarOffice. The latter two are from Sun and IMHO both put M$ Office in it's place and...the price is damn good - free. I installed the latest OpenOffice binary this past weekend. I'm impressed - I've been using StarOffice v 5.x previously. In case you haven't heard of it, let me introduce you to <www.freshmeat.net> Linux's version of VersionTracker. To find the apps I mentioned, go there and use the search facility. Merry Christmas! -- Cheers, Stephen
