Hi there folks, I have just set up my step daughter with an eMac. Got her away from the dark side at last. I installed OpenOffice for her and she is totally frustrated with the lack of speed. Don't want her blaming the Mac for this after telling her how great it is !! I know this question

Hi Stephen, What version of OpenOffice have you got installed? I'm assuming version 3 but I found 1 and 2 quite slow whereas version 3 seemed to sort this out. If you're after a cheap webcam, www.zazz.com.au has a cheap one today that apparently works with a Mac, mind this was tested

I know these are trivial, but Snow Leopard (on Intel Mac Pro) has been treating my custom icons with contempt. Every day one or more of them, randomly, it seems, is replaced with the generic icon. Also, there are 2 displays attached to my Mac and I have always set the desktop pictures

Another bit of annoying behaviour is the disdain with which SL treats preferences. Or does that qualify as arrogance? Cheers, Michael. On 8/9/09 10:19 AM, Pat clamsh...@iinet.net.au wrote: I know these are trivial, but Snow Leopard (on Intel Mac Pro) has been treating my custom icons

My 15 month old 17 MacBook Pro has also started to fail to connect to wifi networks since SL was installed. Unplugging the modem and restarting the computer after the modem has powered up again seems to be the solution. Michael. On 8/9/09 11:42 AM, Martin Hill marth...@iinet.net.au wrote:

Morning Stephen, I would use NeoOffice especially 3. http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php Part of the problem could be the eMac not much horsepower? Remember to download the PowerPC version. I would also assume the speed problems will be still there even with MS $ Office. Cheers!
