ultra compatible


Yeah, those .doc documents are just so ultra compatible.  I guess I can't complain because I use Word when I have to use a public Mac anyway.  Open Office isn't installed and Apple Works is kinda...  crap.  But Open Office is still better than MS Office on any platform.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

I think it's rather ironic that Apple is trying to push the Cocoa library down developers' throats, then uses Carbon to updated AppleWorks. (-;
I can't get over you until you get out from under him.

OpenOffice looks right at home on Windows, which honestly is the platform it's targeted at... although you'd think they could update its appearance to at least look like XP.

I won't buy any version of office X. I forked over $225 for Office 2001 at the badass academic price when I was in college because I'm a badass motherfucker. I wanted to go to Redmond and ram a 25' pole up Bill's ass because 2001 isn't carbon. FUCKING FAGGOTS. But it works just fine in Classic, especially in Panther now that classic is PERFECTLY SEAMLESS.

I've got Orifice 2001 and Appleworks 6, which works for me. For about 99% of the things I type, TextEdit is the app of choice for me.

if I really wanted offence X, I'd bust out with some gnutella action, but then, I'd probably enjoy a bath in hot acid or lava more.
Go the fuck ~

That's great. Now you own a Mac AND are MS free. (I wish I could say the same about the former).

Anyway, welcome to the boards.
