Hi all. I'm new to this forum so if this is the wrong place to post this question, I beg apologies.
I'm a college student and I purchased my MacBook about 7 months ago. It didn't come with a word processor. As you can probably imagine, not having a word processor in college is killing me. I need one now...I needed one yesterday. I was waiting for Office 2008 and was planning on buying it until I went to Apple's Website and read the customer reviews. Apparently Office 2008 is very glitchy. The worst thing for most people is that is wasn't worth the upgrade.
My question is, since I'm not upgrading (I have no word processor at all) what should I do? Just get 2008? Hunt down a copy of 2004 and use that instead? Or is there an alternative? Keep in mind, I am in college and professors like to email/post files for us students that were created in Word or Powerpoint. I need something that I can use to look at those files with. Any help?
