[QUOTE="joshbrez, post: 729550, member: 26453"] I agree with alexmaccoll about OpenOffice. It's just not good on the Mac. Having it run in X11 just slows everything down, not to mention the fact that MS Office is flat-out better designed. I love plenty of open source programs, but OOo on the Mac isn't one of them. I know someone in this thread is eventually going to recommend NeoOffice, but my vote stays with MS Office all the way. As for Focus, I'm unfamiliar with the program. I'm also not sure if Apple's own Aperture would be able to give you the functionality that you need. Maybe someone else can chime in here. The external HDD is kinda puzzling. It may have something to do with the former PC HDDs, but I can't be sure. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. [/QUOTE]
