    Reggie, they're a lot less worse than they used to be. You can have almost any application that runs on a PC by Microsoft on a Mac. They have come a long way. Plus, there are so many apps that Mac makes now that rival the PC apps, it's really not an issue.


    PS...
    Was watching 48hrs mystery the other night on NBC (I think), and saw the case about the guy who invented the Linux system who killed his Russian wife and buried her in a hole a few miles away. I was shocked! I had no idea he had done something like that! He had some real mental issues, wonder if it was one of those where you're so brilliant, and then you just sort of crack.

    Mary, it sounds like your son is a bright guy! I don't think you need to worry, I've had Office on my Mac for at least 6 years without a problem. I can assure you that it's a lot more pain getting anything to work properly on a PC, AND clumsy too!

    Computers can do that to ya. I nearly cracked and buried mine in a hole a few miles away. LOL

    If you mean Hans Reiser, he was the person that created the ReiserFS, which was critical in the early years of Linux. No, the original creator of Linux was Linus Torvaldes. He whom keeps a nunchuck under his bed and prays to penguins.
