[QUOTE="lil, post: 201220"] I take it you remember or know about how abysmal MS Office 4 for the Mac was? No? Well; that was more or less a straight port from the PC, interface and just about the whole kaboodle—and was about the most dire set of programs to ever inflict themselves on the Mac. They were truly awful sluggish and hogging applications that killed performance dead. Word 6 was dire compared to the nice and useful Word 5.1. Thankfully Microsoft learnt their lesson and by 2001 we had a fairly Mac alike suite again, with 2004—they are almost there. This is why 'straight ports' of technology are never a good thing, especially where MS is concerned (MS Windows Media Player 9 for Mac anybody? ;) ) :flower: Vicky [/QUOTE]
