9/20 What would be an Office-compatible app recommended for an iBook?
\_ um. Microsoft Office.
\_ Any other?
\_ No.
\_ By the way it is dual boot MacOS9 and OS X
\_ Microsoft Office works under both MacOS9 and in the Classic
environment under MacOS X. If you really don't want to use
Office you might try Apple Works, but it is not a complete
Office replacement --twohey
\_ AppleWorks is a nice if you just need to read docs that
people send you. The main limitation I found was the
lack of support for Word's revision control system.
\_ You should just use Office. If you absolutely refuse to use
it, then do the following:
1. Install VPC on OS 9 and OS X
2. Install RH Linux on your VPC
3. Install StarOffice under RH Linux running on VPC
4. Install MacX on OS 9 and XonX or XTools on OS X
Now you can run StarOffice on your mac. Yes its slow as
all get out but at least you are running OpenSource software.
\_ Why not just install Yellow Dog Linux directly on the iBook?
\_ Since when was StarOffice open source?
\_ Since sometime in March: http://www.openoffice.org |
