    Appleworks?

    I wouldnt

    I like the microsoft stuff.

    have you been a big mac user?
    if you havent , id go with office. i dont think you can do spreasheets or presentations with that also, appleworks files (.cwk) arent co mpatible with PC.

    justa thought.

    gribbs,

    If you'd like a free Office suite which can be setup to save documents in a format like Word 97/2000/ and XP, go with Open Office v1.13 (http://www.openoffice.org/). The programs are named differently but are seemlessly compatible with MS Office documents.

    Just a thought.

    Cheers,
    RJ

    Hey thanks cdnbacon, woohoo, I now have MSN for my MAC. Ummm, do you know how I can add my buddy icon... In fact, is there a way I can see my friends buddy icons? Most of my friends update their picture daily, and I can't seem to see their picture when the message window opens. Also, is there a way I can rename my contacts too?

    Thanks ahead of time!

    Yeah, Appleworks has no control. I used o use it but found the interface very confusing and very plain! Then I bought Office for Mac and that was awesome! It does everything that it does on Windows on a Mac! [8D]
