Last question before you fall asleep! Are there alot of sercruity features in apple and if so if downloding programmes and music a waste of time??

Thanks ppl!!!

Number one, we will not help you do anything illegal here. Read the rules.

MS Office has a Mac version too.

(typing coherently wont kill you)

From the rules:


Illegal Activity: Mac-Forums.com recognizes that this is an international community and as such it is your responsibility to determine what is legal in your jurisdiction with regard to any topic discussed here.

However, in general, we choose to follow United States law in regard to what is permissible to be discussed here. Therefore discussion of illegal file sharing, cracked programs, requests for serial numbers, and any other breaches of copyright or other illegal activity are not allowed in these forums.

In answer to your first question, the answer is yes. You can either purchase MS Office, or download NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org and use those.

Your second question is specifically forbidden in the forum rules. If you search the forums, you should find the answers to your questions, but asking about how to illegally download software is a short trip to a temporary ban

Don't let that put you off though! Read the forums, search for answers, ask if you are stuck and generally contribute. There is usually a way to achieve your goal without going the Windows route of just pirating everything, and I'm sure people will be happy to help if you ask them nicely

hey sorry...i did say i was all new to this?!

I knw MS Office has a mac version to however if i create a document on the mac version....can i open/edit it on the windows version??

sorry again!

Yes, you can edit cross-platform.

Thanks cazabam...macdillon!!

I didn't see anywhere in his post that mentioned he was planning on anything illegal.
There are plenty of royalty free music and free games that can be downloaded using torrents.

DOH.... didn't catch that part. :black:
Yeah, if you are looking to download copyrighted material then you are in the wrong place.

alright alright....maybe i was wrong!!!

but hey no one has spoken about the security features on apple????

Well, your question about security seemed to be geared around how easy it would be to get ripped off stuff to work, so I figured that the previous answers covered it. What else are you after?

hmm good point...never thought of it like that :S

i think thats it...thanks ppl!

Just a suggestion, but please, PLEASE change your avatar. It's annoying the heck out of me.
