Okay, so first of all I am claiming complete and utter stupidity in the knowledge dept Mac-wise, so please keep the rolling eyes emoticons to a minimum.
So, I bought this MacBook Pro a month or so ago and naturally I had to re-load OS 10 because everything is tied to the former owner's Apple ID. In the ensuing reload, everything on the Mac was wiped too, including iPages and the Mac-compatible Excel and Microsoft Works software packages. Multiple (borderline stalking, unanswered emails (for licensing keys) to the original owner later, I am left with the bare bones, a sad version of my Super Mac's former self.
So, here's the question, is there any way to get these programs without paying a gazillion bucks for something I already paid for?
Truly mega-suckage. Questions to Apple Support were disappointing - I did get iPhoto back (whoo-hoo)...
So, any suggestions?
Anyone? ? ? Hello? Is this thing on?
