Greetings, The mailman brought my OpenOffice Installation CD today. When I inserted the disk into the CD player on my iMac computer, which is using the new Mavericks version of Mac's OS, I heard a slight growl. Then a whirr. Following that a crunch. Finally the rotating CD emitted a harmonious tweet to a 4/4 time beat.
Stranger yet, the software seemed to be loading, and it even opened up on my desktop. Seeing it there tempted me to get with it, so I clicked the Templates button and got a signal that the application was opening the templates for the first time. That, I construed, meant to hold my horses and wait. Being an obedient sort, I waited, but this time to the horrendous crunch being played in ragtime. I finally tired of this procedure and shut down my computer. When I attempted to open OpenOffice, it didn't. Moreover my Mac told me that Apple had no program to open it. That's were it stands and where I sit, broken hearted and sad beyond measure. Perhaps you can help. Hence this plea. I await your response. All the best, Martin
