Re: Office 2004 on Pismo slow
I think we have seen the last of Microsoft Office for the Mac. There is not 1 reason for M$$ to do anything to help the Mac. The lack of a simple web browser, was the first shot over the bow. I hope that M$$ whale sinks, Apple has a rare event, a excellent opportunity to turn iPods into other Apple products. Not easy, not practical very difficult, but they have a chance, before the iPod, there was not even a prayer. A second chance at life, Steve got one, maybe he can turn this into a larger market share for the computers. It is pretty funny to see M$$ actually have to run Windows ads. There is is no joy in Redmond tonight.

Re: Office 2004 on Pismo slow
More RAM -take it to 1 GIG.7200 hard drive made a noticeable difference in my Pismo 500. Run as few programs as possible while office is open. Plus it's from M$$, their not going to make something for the Mac that works better, less problems and makes MS Office for the other brand brands look bad ???. If they stop making updates to a simple web browser for the Mac, their not going to sweat making sure M$$ for the Mac is going to run smooth. Times change, Bill won the Monkey Trial. Bought the present occupant of the white house, unless he is cutting down sage in Texas for ecology or looking for things. Mean while M$$ is back to buying, crunching and strangling any competition. What a time. Hard to give up those Pismo's Geoff.

If you meet the OS requirement, have you downloaded and installed Microsoft SP2 for Office 2004? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
