[QUOTE="b.hicks, post: 210873"] I also find MS Office to be a little slow when typing. I have a Macbook Pro with 1gb of ram, and I can outtype MS word, but not to the extent your talking about. I type about 50wpm and MS Word is uausally a word of two behind at most. When I stop typing, Word catches up in a fraction of a second. I have taken to using Pages, part of iWork06 and couldn't outtype it if my life depended on it, so I suspect the problem is, Word is not universal binary. If you try Pages, and find you can outtype that, I would suggest you might have a hardware issue. Sorry to hear about your poor introduction to OS X. I am also new to Apple. The Macbook is my first Mac. I have always been a windows user and bought the macbook so I could use windows and learn OS X. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to OS X, but now that I have been using it for a month and a bit, I'll never go back to windows. Stick with it and I think it will grow on you. Anyway. Welcome. Brian. [/QUOTE]
